Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to tax
on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF ASEAN Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 7 July 1983, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong Kong.
The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to enable investors to participate in a managed portfolio consisting primarily of securities with
significant assets in, or significant earnings derived from one or more of the countries comprising the Association of South East Asian Nations.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".
(e)(e)(e)(e) Proceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of units
The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 7 July 1983, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial statements.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Asia Domestic Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 11 May 2007, as amended, and is governed by the
laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in securities of
companies whose predominant business will benefit from, or is related to, the domestic growth in Asian economies excluding Japan but
including Australia and New Zealand. This may include, but is not limited to, companies predominantly engaged in the production, distribution,
marketing or retail sale of staple goods, such as food, beverages, household products, cosmetics, tobacco, automobiles, also companies
primarily engaged in the development of properties and infrastructure projects including building materials, building services, property
developers, ports/railways/roads builders and operators as well as insurance companies and financial companies.
Units of the Fund are issued in classes and the first class of units in issue is Class A. Subsequent classes of units are created at the Manager's
discretion. A merging of separate unit classes will normally occur where, as at a year-end date, a management performance fee becomes
payable by each of such unit classes. For unit classes to be merged, all units from respective unit classes will be redeemed and subsequently
subscribed into a merged unit class. The total value of any unitholders' units is not affected by the merger. On 4 October 2010, there was no
merging of unit classes in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2010.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by

Fund's Trust Deed dated 11 May 2007, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Asia New Frontiers Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 9 August 2007, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in securities of companies (i)
domiciled or listed on a stock exchange in developing countries in Asia ("Asia New Frontiers"), or (ii) with actual or prospective operations,
assets or investments, direct or indirect, in Asia New Frontiers in an aggregate amount of not less than either US$50 million or 10 per cent. Of
the gross assets of the investing company (albeit such operations, assets or investments may at the time of investment be immaterial to the
financial results of such company), or (iii) whose performance is linked to the economies of Asia New Frontiers.
Units of the Fund are issued in classes and the first class of units in issue is Class A. Subsequent classes of units are created at the Manager's
discretion. A merging of separate unit classes will normally occur where, as at a year-end date, a management performance fee becomes
payable by each of such unit classes. For unit classes to be merged, all units from respective unit classes will be redeemed and subsequently
subscribed into a merged unit class. The total value of any unitholders' units is not affected by the merger. On 4 October 2010, there was no
merging of unit classes in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2010.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency Foreign currency Foreign currency Foreign currency translationtranslationtranslationtranslation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 9 August 2007, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Asia Property Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 29 January 2008, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in securities of
companies that are listed on Asia (including Japan, Australia and New Zealand) stock exchanges that are principally engaged in or related to
the property industry.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

JF AsiaOne Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 22 August 2006, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to produce a competitive total return in different market conditions. The Fund seeks to
achieve this primarily through an actively managed portfolio of collective investment schemes managed by the Manager or its connected
persons (as defined in the SFC Code) which are linked to the economies of Asian countries (including Australia) ("Underlying Funds"). The
allocation to the Underlying Funds will be continually monitored and reviewed and changes will be made as considered appropriate to better
achieve the Fund's objective. In other words, the Fund may invest up to all of its assets in equity funds when the Investment Manager believes
market conditions and opportunities favour equities. When the Investment Manager believes market conditions and opportunities do not
favour equities the Fund may invest up to all of its assets in fixed income and money market funds and other funds with a low correlation to
equities. The Investment Manager may invest in a range of funds whose underlying assets embrace the full spectrum of the risk return trade
off from low to high risk. The Investment Manager may carry out hedging activities via financial futures.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 22 August 2006, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Eastern Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 20 January 1971, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the securities of
companies in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan and Australia.
With effect from 1 January 2011, the investment policy of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily
in the securities of companies in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan and Australia except the Manager may, from time to time, invest in
Japan and Australia when appropriate investment opportunities arise.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing
Securities lenders' agreements are entered into with institutions of appropriate financial standing who engage in such arrangements
acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.

Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 2 December
1991 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Eastern Smaller Companies Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 2 December 1991, as amended, and is governed by
the laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the securities of small to
medium sized companies in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan and Australia.
With effect from 1 January 2011, the investment policy of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily
in the securities of small to medium sized companies in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan and Australia except the Manager may, from
time to time, invest in Japan and Australia when appropriate investment opportunities arise.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing
Securities lenders' agreements are entered into with institutions of appropriate financial standing who engage in such arrangements
acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.

Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on

Notes to the Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial Statements
1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Five Elements Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 28 February 2008, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in securities of companies in
natural resources and commodities sectors in Asia (including Australia and New Zealand). This may include, but is not limited to, companies
predominantly engaged in the extraction, refinement, development, production, distribution, marketing or retail sale of natural resources,
commodities and their secondary products such as agriculture, energy, forestry, timber, paper, water, metals, basic materials, mining,
construction and infrastructure.
Units of the Fund are issued in classes and the first class of units in issue is Class A. Subsequent classes of units are created at the Manager's
discretion. A merging of separate unit classes will normally occur where, as at a year-end date, a management performance fee becomes
payable by each of such unit classes. For unit classes to be merged, all units from respective unit classes will be redeemed and subsequently
subscribed into a merged unit class. The total value of any unitholders' units is not affected by the merger. On 4 October 2010, there was no
merging of unit classes in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2010.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 28 February 2008, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Greater China Smaller Companies Fund (the “Fund”) was established under a Trust Deed dated 26 August 2009, as amended, and is
governed by the laws of Hong Kong. The Fund commenced operations on 4 October 2010. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and
Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
With effect from 27 August 2010, the name of the Fund was changed from JPM Brazil Fund to JF Greater China Smaller Companies Fund.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the securities of small to
medium-sized companies in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan (“Greater China”).
All unitholders’ rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.
2222 Summary of principal accounting policiesSummary of principal accounting policiesSummary of principal accounting policiesSummary of principal accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are set out below.
(a)(a)(a)(a) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Transactions and balances

transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Pacific Securities Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 7 April 1978, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the securities of
companies in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by the HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 22 May 1993
to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been made
for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Pacific Smaller Companies Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 22 May 1993, as amended, and is governed by the
laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the securities of small to
medium sized companies in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing
Securities lenders' agreements are entered into with institutions of appropriate financial standing who engage in such arrangements
acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 22 May 1993, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 14 August
1997 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to tax
on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Pacific Technology Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 14 August 1997, as amended, and is governed by the laws
of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth through a portfolio consisting primarily of securities of technology
companies in the Pacific region, including Japan.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities lending and borrowingSecurities lending and borrowingSecurities lending and borrowingSecurities lending and borrowing
Securities lenders' agreements are entered into with institutions of appropriate financial standing who engage in such arrangements
acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

Fund's Trust Deed dated 14 August 1997, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Australia Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 5 June 1981, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong Kong.
The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in Australian securities.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis oBasis oBasis oBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsf preparation of interim financial statementsf preparation of interim financial statementsf preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.

transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF China New Generation Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 21 May 2009, as amended, and is governed by the laws
of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the People's Republic of
China ("PRC") securities, including but not limited to A-Shares, of companies whose predominant business will benefit from, or is related to,
growth of the domestic consumption sector in the PRC. The Fund may also invest in fixed income instruments denominated in Renminbi
issued or listed in or outside the PRC, including debt securities issued by the central government of the PRC, any public or local authorities in
the PRC, any quasi-governmental organizations or any corporates.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 21 May 2009, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.
(f)(f)(f)(f) TaxationTaxationTaxationTaxation
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit
or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement
of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized.

(a)(a)(a)(a) The Fund held certain investment in the A-shares of PRC listed companies through the QFII quota of the Investment Manager and certain
investment in other PRC securities. Tax provisioning of 10% is made for PRC sourced dividends and interest (except for Government bond
interest which is tax exempt). The PRC taxation of gains on PRC securities is however presently unclear. Under current PRC tax law, a
10% tax may be payable on gains derived from the sale of PRC securities by foreign investors. However, up to the issuance date of these
financial statements, it is uncertain as to whether the State Administration of Taxation ("SAT") will collect this tax in respect of the gains
on PRC securities. Until further clarification is issued by the SAT, the Manager considers that there is a significant uncertainty in respect
of whether the Fund will have to pay the relevant potential taxation liability. The Manager has assessed the likelihood of such exposure
and has made a provision in the amount of US$630,277 as at 31 March 2011 (30 September 2010: US$630,538) based on its best estimate
of the potential taxation liability and the probability of such gains crystallizing. The Manager estimates that the potential taxation
liability ranges from nil to US$1,260,554 as at 31 March 2011 (30 September 2010: US$1,261,076). However the Manager would like to
highlight that there is a possibility that some or all of the tax provided as at 31 March 2011 for gains on PRC securities in the amount of
US$630,277 (30 September 2010: US$630,538) will not be payable and may be released. Equally, there is the possibility that additional
provision of US$630,277 (30 September 2010: US$630,538) may be required in relation to the position as at 31 March 2011. The
Manager is regularly monitoring the position.
(b)(b)(b)(b) No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made as the Fund was authorized as a collective investment scheme under Section 104
of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and is therefore exempt from profits tax under Section 26A(1A) of the Inland Revenue Ordinance.
Overseas withholding tax was charged on certain dividend income received and capital gains derived during the period.
6666 Soft commission arrangementsSoft commission arrangementsSoft commission arrangementsSoft commission arrangements
The Investment Manager has entered into soft commission arrangements with brokers under which certain goods and services used to
support investment decision making are received by the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager does not make direct payment for
these services but transacts an agreed amount of business with the brokers on behalf of the Fund. Commission is paid from the Fund on these
transactions.
The goods and services must be of demonstrable benefit to the Fund and may include research and advisory services; economic and political
analysis; portfolio analysis, including valuation and performance measurement; market analysis, data and quotation services, computer
hardware and software incidental to the above goods and services; clearing and custodian services and investment-related publications.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 14 June 2006
to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been made
for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 14 June 2006, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.
(e)(e)(e)(e) TaxationTaxationTaxationTaxation
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit
or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement
of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized.

(a)(a)(a)(a) The Fund held certain investment in the A-shares of PRC listed companies through the QFII quota of the Investment Manager and certain
investment in other PRC securities. Tax provisioning of 10% is made for PRC sourced dividends and interest. The PRC taxation of gains
on PRC securities is however presently unclear. Under current PRC tax law, a 10% tax may be payable on gains derived from the sale of
PRC securities by foreign investors. However, up to the issuance date of these financial statements, it is uncertain as to whether the
State Administration of Taxation ("SAT") will collect this tax in respect of the gains on PRC securities. Until further clarification is issued
by the SAT, the Manager considers that there is a significant uncertainty in respect of whether the Fund will have to pay the relevant
potential taxation liability. The Manager has assessed the likelihood of such exposure and has made a provision in the amount of
US$28,180,741 as at 31 March 2011 (30 September 2010: US$23,954,904) based on its best estimate of the potential taxation liability and
the probability of such gains crystallizing. The Manager estimates that the potential taxation liability ranges from nil to US$55,603,637
as at 31 March 2011 (30 September 2010: from nil to US$47,168,126). However the Manager would like to highlight that there is a
possibility that some or all of the tax provided as at 31 March 2011 for gains on PRC securities in the amount of US$28,180,741 (30
September 2010: US$23,954,904) will not be payable and may be released. Equally, there is the possibility that additional provision of
US$27,422,896 (30 September 2010: US$23,213,222) may be required in relation to the position as at 31 March 2011. The Manager is
regularly monitoring the position.
(b)(b)(b)(b) No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made as the Fund was authorized as a collective investment scheme under Section 104
of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and is therefore exempt from profits tax under Section 26A(1A) of the Inland Revenue Ordinance.
Overseas withholding tax was charged on certain dividend and interest income received and capital gains derived during the period.
6666 Soft commission arrangementsSoft commission arrangementsSoft commission arrangementsSoft commission arrangements
The Investment Manager has entered into soft commission arrangements with brokers under which certain goods and services used to
support investment decision making are received by the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager does not make direct payment for
these services but transacts an agreed amount of business with the brokers on behalf of the Fund. Commission is paid from the Fund on these
transactions.
The goods and services must be of demonstrable benefit to the Fund and may include research and advisory services; economic and political
analysis; portfolio analysis, including valuation and performance measurement; market analysis, data and quotation services, computer
hardware and software incidental to the above goods and services; clearing and custodian services and investment-related publications.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 23 November
1989 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF India Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 23 November 1989, as amended, and is governed by the laws of the
Republic of Mauritius. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth through a portfolio consisting primarily of securities linked to the
Indian economy. These include, but are not restricted to, securities traded on the stock exchanges of India and the rest of the Indian sub-
continent including Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

Fund's Trust Deed dated 23 November 1989, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF India Smaller Companies Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 13 April 2006, as amended, and is governed by the
laws of the Republic of Mauritius. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in securities of small to
medium-sized companies in India.
Units of the Fund are issued in classes and the first class of units in issue is Class A. Subsequent classes of units are created at the Manager's
discretion. A merging of separate unit classes will normally occur where, as at a year-end date, a management performance fee becomes
payable by each of such unit classes. For unit classes to be merged, all units from respective unit classes will be redeemed and subsequently
subscribed into a merged unit class. The total value of any unitholders' units is not affected by the merger. On 4 October 2010, there was no
merging of unit classes in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2010.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

Fund's Trust Deed dated 13 April 2006, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 19
September 2006 to 30 September 2009 (a final application
has been made for distributing fund certification for the
period from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The
principal effect of this certification is that for unitholders
resident or ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation
purposes any gains accruing on the sale, redemption or
other disposal of units during the period will be taxed in the
UK as a capital gain and not as income. This treatment will
continue under the new UK reporting fund regime provided
the Fund does not invest more than 5% of its assets in other
offshore funds. There will be no need to formally apply for
reporting fund status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax
purposes and therefore considered out of scope of the
requirements of this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to tax
on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Indonesia Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 19 September 2006, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation through a portfolio consisting primarily of
securities linked to the Indonesian economy. These include, but are not restricted to, securities traded on the stock exchanges of Indonesia.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by

Fund's Trust Deed dated 19 September 2006, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 11 December
1991 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Korea Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 11 December 1991, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in companies
whose shares are listed on the Korea Stock Exchange or traded on the Korean over-the-counter market.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 12 December
1989 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to tax
on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Malaysia Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 12 December 1989, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in securities linked to the
Malaysian economy. These include, but are not restricted to, securities listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When

determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 30 June 1987
to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been made
for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Philippine Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 29 July 1974, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth through investment primarily in the securities of
companies based or operating in the Philippines.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Distributor Distributor Distributor Distributor StatusStatusStatusStatus
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 8 August
1989 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to tax
on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation through a portfolio consisting primarily of
securities of companies based, or operating principally, in Thailand.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.

denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Vietnam Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 15 August 2006, as amended, and is governed by the
laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in securities of companies
either (i) domiciled or listed on a stock exchange in Vietnam, or (ii) with actual or prospective operations, assets or investments, direct or
indirect, in Vietnam in an aggregate amount of not less than either US$50 million or 10 per cent. of the gross assets of the investing company
(albeit such operations, assets or investments may at the time of investment be immaterial to the financial results of such company).
Units of the Fund are issued in classes and the first class of units in issue is Class A. Subsequent classes of units are created at the Manager's
discretion. A merging of separate unit classes will normally occur where, as at a year-end date, a management performance fee becomes
payable by each of such unit classes. For unit classes to be merged, all units from respective unit class will be redeemed and subsequently
subscribed into a merged unit class. The total value of any unitholders' units is not affected by the merger. On 4 October 2010, there was no
merging of unit classes in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2010.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowingSecurities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 15 August 2006, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Japan (Yen) Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 1 August 1969, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth through investment primarily in Japanese
securities and other securities whose performance is linked to the Japanese economy.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities lending and borrowingSecurities lending and borrowingSecurities lending and borrowingSecurities lending and borrowing
Securities lenders' agreements are entered into with institutions of appropriate financial standing who engage in such arrangements
acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.

Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted Japanese Yen as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

Fund's Trust Deed dated 1 August 1969, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 10 June 1991
to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been made
for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Japan OTC Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 10 June 1991, as amended, and is governed by the laws of Hong
Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth through investment primarily in the securities of
companies traded on the over-the-counter ("OTC") markets and Japan Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("JASDAQ") in
Japan. The Fund may also invest in securities listed on the Market of the High Growth & Emerging Stocks of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the
"Mothers market") and/or the Osaka Securities Exchange Nippon New Market (the "Hercules market") in Japan.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing Securities lending and borrowing
Securities lenders' agreements are entered into with institutions of appropriate financial standing who engage in such arrangements
acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately

Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted Japanese Yen as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

Fund's Trust Deed dated 10 June 1991, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Japan Smaller Company (Yen) Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 5 June 1980, as amended, and is governed by
the laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth through investment primarily in the shares of small
to medium sized Japanese companies.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted Japanese Yen as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".

The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 5 June 1980, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial statements.

Distributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor StatusDistributor Status
The Fund has been certified by HMRC in the UK as a
distributing fund in respect of the period from 1 January
1984 to 30 September 2009 (a final application has been
made for distributing fund certification for the period from 1
October 2009 to 30 September 2010). The principal effect
of this certification is that for unitholders resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK for taxation purposes any gains
accruing on the sale, redemption or other disposal of units
during the period will be taxed in the UK as a capital gain
and not as income. This treatment will continue under the
new UK reporting fund regime provided the Fund does not
invest more than 5% of its assets in other offshore funds.
There will be no need to formally apply for reporting fund
status as the Fund is transparent for UK tax purposes and
therefore considered out of scope of the requirements of
this new regime.
As noted, the Fund is transparent for UK income tax
purposes and UK investors are subject to UK capital gains
tax on disposal of their units. UK investors are subject to
tax on their share of income of the Fund on an arising basis.
Information has been provided to UK investors of the
amount of their share of the underlying income, expenses
and overseas tax suffered.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Japan Technology Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 5 March 1981, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital growth through a portfolio primarily of shares in Japanese
companies involved in technology industries.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

acceptable to the Trustee and on arm's length commercial terms. Securities lent are included in the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Relevant securities lending income entitled by the Fund is accounted for in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Collateral received
for the purpose of securities lent generally consist of non-cash collateral which are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not
included in the financial statements. There were no securities lending activities since 8 April 2009.
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.

transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JPM Evergreen Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 19 January 2004, as amended, and is governed by the laws of
Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment policy of the Fund is to seek to produce a competitive total return in different market conditions. The Fund seeks to achieve
this through an actively managed portfolio of collective investment schemes managed by the Manager, its connected parties or external
parties.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivativesInvestments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JPM Global Property Income Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 6 July 2005, as amended, and is governed by the
laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a high level of current income and long-term capital appreciation primarily through
investing in securities that are listed on any stock exchange and are principally engaged in or related to the property industry or which own
significant property assets. The Fund does not invest in real estate directly.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

(a)(a)(a)(a) Basis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statementsBasis of preparation of interim financial statements
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements
are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".
(e)(e)(e)(e) Proceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of units
The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 6 July 2005, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial statements.
Units of the Fund are redeemable at the option of the holders of redeemable units and are classified as a financial liability in the
Statement of Financial Position which represents the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (or "net asset value", "net
assets" or "NAV") and is carried at the redemption amount that would be payable at the Statement of Financial Position date if the
holders of redeemable units exercised the right to redeem units of the Fund.

liability in the Statement of Financial Position which represents the net assets attributable to the holders of redeemable units and is carried at
the redemption amount that would be payable at the Statement of Financial Position date, if the holders of redeemable units exercised the
right to redeem units of the Fund. The redemption amount is determined based on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units
calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Fund's Trust Deed dated 6 July 2005, as amended ("Trust Deed NAV").

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JF Asian Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 30 November 2004, as amended, and is governed by
the laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a competitive total return, consisting of capital growth and regular dividend income,
through an actively managed portfolio investing primarily in Asian bonds and other debt securities.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Credit default swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from the market makers and the change in value, if any, is
recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
for the purpose of securities borrowed generally consist of cash collateral and are included in the Statement of Financial Position
separately.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted United States dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments and derivatives".
(e)(e)(e)(e) Proceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of unitsProceeds and payments on allotment and redemption of units
The net asset value per unit is computed for each dealing day. The price at which units are allotted or redeemed is calculated by
reference to the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day in accordance with the provisions of the
Fund's Trust Deed dated 30 November 2004, as amended, which may be different from the accounting policies stated in the financial
statements.
Units of the Fund are redeemable at the option of the holders of redeemable units and are classified as a financial liability in the
Statement of Financial Position which represents the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (or "net asset value", "net
assets" or "NAV") and is carried at the redemption amount that would be payable at the Statement of Financial Position date if the
holders of redeemable units exercised the right to redeem units of the Fund.

As stated in Note 2(e), units of the Fund are redeemable at the option of the holders of redeemable units and are classified as a financial
liability in the Statement of Financial Position which represents the net assets attributable to the holders of redeemable units and is carried at
the redemption amount that would be payable at the Statement of Financial Position date, if the holders of redeemable units exercised the
right to redeem units of the Fund. The redemption amount is determined based on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units
calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Fund's Trust Deed dated 30 November 2004, as amended ("Trust Deed NAV").

The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide an efficient vehicle for holding liquid assets currently denominated in the currency of Hong
Kong.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

Classification
The Fund classifies its investments as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets or
financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near
term or short-term profit taking.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments are initially recognized at fair value and are
subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are recognized in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income. Investments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the
Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Foreign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translationForeign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The Fund has adopted Hong Kong dollar as its functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at period/year end exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within "Net foreign currency exchange gains/losses". Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within "Net gains/losses on
investments".

1111 The FundThe FundThe FundThe Fund
JPM Global Bond and Currency Fund (the "Fund") was established under a Trust Deed dated 30 April 1979, as amended, and is governed by
the laws of Hong Kong. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a stable income primarily from a portfolio of international interest bearing securities
together with long-term capital appreciation through diversification of exposure to the major international currencies.
All unitholders' rights with regard to the convening, voting or otherwise acting at any meeting of unitholders are the same. Refer to Note 3.

are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives Investments and derivatives
Classification
The Fund classifies its investments and derivatives as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These
financial assets or financial liabilities are held-for-trading as they are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or short-term profit taking.
All derivatives are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund.
The Fund makes short sales in which a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security, or it may
use short sales for various arbitrage transactions. Short sales are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Purchases and sales of investments and derivatives are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments and derivatives are initially
recognized at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and
derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Investments and derivatives are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments and derivatives have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value estimation
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and investments with prices quoted in over-the-counter markets or by market
makers, are fair valued based on quoted "bid" prices on long investments and quoted "ask" prices on investments sold short. When
trading in the securities of an investee company is suspended, the investment is valued at the Manager's estimate of its fair value.
Debt securities are fair valued based on quoted prices inclusive of accrued interest.
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at fair value based on the net asset value per unit of the respective funds as
determined by the administrators of the relevant funds or stated at "bid" prices if the collective investment schemes are listed or traded
on an exchange.
Open futures and swap contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date.
The differences between the bid/ask prices and the contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Open options contracts are valued at "bid" prices for long positions and "ask" prices for short positions at the valuation date. The
differences between the bid/ask prices and the premium amounts/contract prices are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rates ruling at the valuation date. The differences between the forward
rates and the contract rates are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c)(c)(c)(c) Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing Securities borrowing
The Fund may enter into securities borrowing arrangements for short sale purposes. Short positions represent obligations to deliver
securities sold but not yet purchased, and are accounted for as investments and valued at their fair value. Securities borrowed during the
period/year are off-balance sheet transactions and are therefore not included in the investment portfolio of the Fund. Collateral placed
