PERFORMANCE REVIEW

This Annual Report covers the twelve-month financial
year from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013.

Over the past one year, the Fund garnered a total
return of 11.05% while its benchmark, the FTSE Bursa
Malaysia KLCI +3 Months KLIBOR Rate (60:40)
posted a gain of 7.88%. During the review period, the
Fund has distributed an income distribution of 1.75
sen per unit on 29 March 2013. Prior to the income
distribution, the cum-distribution net asset value
(NAV) per unit of the Fund was RM0.5208 while the
ex-distribution NAV per unit immediately after the
distribution was RM0.5054. Investors should note
that income distributions do not affect the value of
their investment and are not in any way to forecast
the future or likely performance of the Fund.

For the period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2013, the Fund
was up 48.23% compared to the benchmark return of
36.73% while distributing a total gross income of
16.25 sen per unit. As such, the Manager concluded
that the Fund has met its investment objective of
providing regular income and medium-to-long term
capital growth for its Unitholders.

Looking forward, the Fund will continue to pursue an
active participation in the markets, in line with our
dynamic portfolio strategy to maximize gains.

This strategy will help the Fund to optimize returns
and strategically position for outperformance over the
medium-to-long term angle.

    In the first half of the financial year, the portfolio
    composition remained relatively unchanged, with the
    exception of Property sector which the Fund raised
    equity weighting marginally. We had taken profits of
    certain Consumer names in Trading/Services sector
    as these Consumer stocks appeared reaching their
    peak in valuation terms.

    We positioned the Fund defensively in the second half
    of the financial year by selling government-linked
    stocks and increased cash holdings ahead of the May

6    HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
5th General Election. We bought back the stocks after
  the political uncertainty was removed.

  On the fixed income front, the Fund actively reduced
  duration, as periods of volatility have necessitated us
  to position the Fund defensively. The Fund has also
  switched out from higher grade names into AA3
  credits to benefit from higher carry and relative value
  afforded by this credit segment. Currently, the Fund’s
  duration stands at 5.11 years.

  As of 30 June 2013, the Fund’s top-three equity
  holdings are Malayan Banking Berhad (3.29%),
  Power Root Berhad (3.26%) and Lingkaran Trans
  Kota Holdings Berhad (2.98%), while top-three fixed
  income holdings are Pengurusan Air SPV Berhad-
  MGS      (15.33%),     TNB    Northern      Energy
  Berhad-Unlisted Bond (11.35%) and Quill Retail Malls
  Sendirian Berhad-Unlisted Bond (3.79%).

  For the financial year under review, there were no
  significant changes to the state of affairs of the Fund
  or circumstances that would materially affect the
  interest of the Unitholders up to the date of this
  manager’s report.

IV. MARKET REVIEW

  Equity

  Bursa Malaysia kicked off the financial year on a
  strong note, as a slew of positive newsflow on the
  Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) lifted
  market sentiment. Appetite for risk assets also grew
  increasingly stronger on the back of aggressive
  interest rate cuts by global central banks, and the
  Fed’s third round of quantitative easing (QE3) by
  buying USD40 billion mortgage debts on monthly

                                  HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   7
basis for unlimited periods to battle its stubbornly
    high unemployment rate. This strong dosage of
    monetary easing fuelled liquidity optimism across the
    financial markets and lifted equity prices higher.

    US fiscal cliff worries and a number of elections and
    leadership handovers in Asia and US grabbed market
    headlines and drove investors into risk-on/risk-off
    mode in the fourth quarter of 2012. Despite
    significant headwinds, equity markets extended their
    rally in response to the election outcomes/smooth
    leadership transitions that came as a relief to global
    financial markets. Market sentiment was also
    underpinned by a string of positive economic data
    from both developed and major emerging economies
    that eased fears of economic hard landing in China
    and fanned hopes for a firmer global recovery in 2013.

    The regional equity rally spilled over to the first
    quarter of 2013, as improved global growth outlook
    continued to serve as a strong catalyst while BoJ’s
    aggressive monetary expansion to jumpstart the
    country’s economic growth further lifted market
    sentiment. But, Bursa Malaysia lagged its regional
    peers as election jitters dominated market sentiment
    and kept investors on the sidelines.

    Malaysia fared better than the rest of the regional
    stock markets in the second quarter of 2013. The
    catch-up rally post General Election sent the FTSE BM
    KLCI to all-time highs as investors interpreted Barisan
    Nasional’s victory as a confirmation of continuity in
    government’s policies and development agendas, a
    requisite for sustainable economic growth and
    financial market stability.

    The post-election euphoria, however, receded at the
    tail end of the financial year as heavy selloffs hit risk

8    HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
assets and emerging markets indiscriminately in May
and June. Cautious mood generally dominated market
sentiment on Fed’s tapering talks, triggering foreign
funds exiting their emerging market positions.
Renewed worries about global recovery slowdown
added to market pessimism after China’s GDP (Q1
2013:7.7%) and manufacturing data surprised
investors on the downside.

Fixed income

The review period was dominated by two themes,
namely the Malaysian General Election (“GE13”) and
Federal Reserve’s intent to taper its quantitative
easing programme. Prior to GE13, Malaysian
government securities (MGS) were well supported
but moves lacked conviction.

Post GE13, MGS rallied as investors saw the
incumbent retaining its power as positive for capital
markets and economic growth. However, sentiments
turned for the worse as investors began to price in the
possibility that the US Federal Reserve might taper its
quantitative easing programme.

This was duly confirmed in June’s FOMC meeting
which resulted in the recent increase in volatility
experience by MGS across the curve, taking its cue
from US Treasuries.

The private debt securities market has remained
relatively resilient despite the MGS volatility as
investors remained net buyers throughout the period.

However, primary issuances suffered as a period of
uncertainty prior to GE13 and volatility in May and
June kept both investors and issuers sidelined.

Nevertheless, some notable issuances were seen by

                                HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   9
strong credits which included WCT Bhd, YTL
     Corporation Bhd, TNB Northern Energy Bhd, Batu
     Kawan Bhd and Etiqa Bhd.

V. FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROPOSED STRATEGIES

     Equity

     Market is likely to be volatile in the short term in view
     of Fed tapering talk and China credit crunch. Recent
     inflow of foreign funds and higher foreign holdings
     could be a drag but “dooms day” scenario unlikely.
     With abundant liquidity among domestic institution
     investors to support the market, Bursa Malaysia is
     likely to stay as a low beta market, thus more resilient
     compared with its regional peers.

     We continue to focus on stocks with growth visibility.
     The rise in government bond yields makes yield
     strategy unattractive given the inherent equity risk
     and narrowing yield gap. The Fund still prefers Oil &
     Gas, Construction and Consumer sectors, and
     selective banks.

     Fixed income

     In line with market expectations, Malaysia’s overnight
     policy rate (OPR) remained stable at 3% for the first
     half of 2013. Bank Negara in its latest guidance is
     biased towards keeping the OPR stable for the
     remainder of the year, to support domestic growth in
     an environment where developed economies are still
     experiencing modest recovery.

     During June’s FOMC meeting, Ben Bernanke
     confirmed investors’ fears that the central bank will
     start tapering its quantitative easing program later
     this year and may stop entirely by mid-2014 if the US

10    HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
economy continues to improve and unemployment
rate fall to 7%. With this, market started to reprice
risks and unwound long positions on US Treasuries
from May to June.

Correspondingly, the MGS markets suffered with
selling pressure seen from both local and foreign
investors. However, the selloff was somewhat
contained as there was strong support from local
investors.

Given the selloff seen over the last two months, local
rates are perceived to be oversold and provide the
opportunity to rebuild positions at more attractive
levels. However, inflation worries could provide food
for thought for local investors in 2014 when subsidy
rationalisation is expected to happen. Even though
inflation has remained benign, it has slowly increased
since the turn of the year, from 1.3% to 1.8% in the
latest reading.

In the corporate space, we still expect net buying
interest from real money given new supply has been
very limited. We expect more primary corporate
issuances in the pipeline after a quiet June where new
issuances were held back due to recent volatility in the
bond market.

As a result of the significant correction seen over the
last two months, we will continue to maintain a
defensive stance by keeping duration neutral, but look
to build positions on dips. We continue to be selective
on the PDS front as local corporate bonds have been
relatively resilient compared to sovereigns.

VI. STOCKBROKING                               REBATES   AND   SOFT
    COMMISSIONS

     The Manager received soft commissions from
     stockbrokers in the form of goods and services such
     as research materials, data and quotation services,
     computer software incidental to investment
     management of the Fund and investment related
     publications. Such soft commissions received are of
     demonstrable benefit to the Unitholders.

               金部位。随着政治不明朗消除后,我们购回股项。

               受到经济转型计划系列利好消息激励,市场投资情
               绪高昂,大马股市以强势步伐展开本财政年的交易

          17      HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
。全球中央银行激进地减息,加上联邦储备局推出
第三量化宽松政策(QE3),即无限期的每月买入总值
400亿美元的抵押债务,以抗衡居高不下的失业率,
大幅提高市场对风险资产的投资胃纳。这股货币宽
松的强心剂点燃金融市场的游资乐观期待,进而一
举推高股票价格。

到了2012年第四季,美国财政悬崖担忧,以及亚洲
与美国的大选与领导层交接,不但成为市场焦点,
更驱使投资者于在风险追逐与风险规避的立场中摇
摆不定。尽管面对重大政治逆风,全球股市延续了
上扬动力,主要是大选结果出炉/领导层顺利交接
,令全球金融市场松一口气。由于先进与主要新兴
经济体公布系列利好的经济数据,消除了市场对中
国经济硬着陆的隐忧,也助长投资者对2013年全球
经济稳健复苏的期待,市场情绪进一步升温。

区域股市牛气延入2013年首季;全球成长前景改善
,继续成为强力催化剂,而日本央行采取激进的宽
松政策,以激活该国经济成长,进一步推升市场情
绪。不过,大马股市表现落后区域同侪,主要是全
国大选阴影不散,主导了市场情绪,也令投资者保
持场外旁观。

2013年第二季,大马股市比其它区域股市更为“安
然无恙”。全国大选后的补涨行情,一举推升富时
大马综合指数攀上历来新高纪录,因投资者诠释,
国阵的重新执政意味着政府政策与发展进程将继续
推行,而这是保持经济持续成长与金融市场稳定的
必要因素。

然而,选后激情于财政年杪消褪;在5月和6月间,
高风险资产面对沉重抛压,而新兴市场无一幸免。
随着美国联储局发表可能缩减量化宽松计划的言论
后,市场普遍弥漫着谨慎的情绪,而外国基金则纷
纷撤出新兴市场部位。此外,中国公布的国内生产
总值(2013年首季成长7.7%)和制造业数据出乎意外
的低迷后,再度点燃全球经济复苏放缓的忧虑,令
市场益加悲观。

固定收益市场

在检讨期间,市场主要是由两大主题所引导,即大
马全国大选和联储局有意缩减量化宽松政策。在全
国大选结束前,大马政府债券获得良好扶持,惟后
市欠缺明朗。

               HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   18
全国大选后,大马政府债券牛气冲天,因投资者认为
     当权者重新执掌政权,对资金市场和经济成长均是利
     好因素。然而,随着投资者开始考量美国联储局可能
     缩减量化宽松计划后,市场情绪开始转为恶劣。

     美国联邦公开市场委员会于6月份会议中证实此事,
     导致大马政府债券追随美国国库债券的步伐,全面
     陷入剧烈震荡格局。

     尽管大马政府债券震荡不靖,私人债券市场则显得
     相对具有韧力,因投资者在这段期间仍是净买家。

     然而,初级发行却受到冲击,主要是全国大选前面
     对不明朗因素,加上5月和6月间涌现的震荡格局,
     令投资者和发行者均退场旁观。

     无论如何,市场仍有一些优质发行计划受到注目,
     当中包括WCT有限公司、杨忠礼机构(YTL Corp)、
     国能北方电力(TNB Northern Energy)、峇都加湾
     (Batu Kawan)和Etiqa有限公司。

V. 市场展望与策略

     股票市场

     短期内,联储局缩减量化宽松论调和中国信贷紧张
     局势,料拖累市场继续处于动荡格局。近期外资的
     流入和高水平的外资持有部位,可能会拖累步伐,
     但料不至于出现“灾难日”。鉴于本地机构投资者
     握有充沛游资足以扶持股市,大马股市可望因“低
     贝他”市场而站稳步履,因而,也比区域股市同侪
     更具韧力。

     我们依然专注于成长能见度清淅的股项。鉴于固有
     股市风险与回酬差幅收窄,政府债券回酬的扬升令
     回酬策略不具吸引力。本基金依然看好石油天然气
     、建筑、消费领域及特定银行类股。

     固定收益市场

     一如市场预期,大马隔夜政策利率于2013年上半年
     保持3%水平。国家银行最新一次的指引是,在今年
     接下来的日子会保持隔夜政策利率的稳定,以便在
     先进经济体温和复苏之际扶持国内成长动力。

19   HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
在6月份的美国联邦公开市场委员会议息会议后,伯
 南克“证实”了投资者的焦虑,即假若美国经济继
 续复苏且失业率下跌至7%以下水平,联储局将在今
 年开始逐步减少购买资产行动,并于2014年中终止
 整个计划。有鉴于此,市场开始在5月和6月间重估
 风险资产,并卸下美国国库债券购入部位。

 相同的,大马政府债券也面对本地与外资的抛售压
 力。然而,卖压在某程度上受到抑制,因本地投资
 者也强力扶持。

 经过过去两个月的强烈卖压后,本地利率已被视为
 “超卖”,使投资者得以更具吸引力的水平重组投
 资组合。然而,通货膨胀隐忧可能会让投资者深入
 思考, 2014年津贴合理化政策落实的问题。尽管通
 货膨胀目前仍低落,但今年来已缓慢升温,由1.3%
 走高至最新的1.8%。

 至于企业债券,由于新发行有限,预料实质资金仍
 将成为净买盘。我们预期,经过淡静的6月后,更多
 主要企业债券发行排队出炉,而有关新发行早前是
 因债券市场近期剧烈动荡而按兵不动。

 随着过去两个月出现重大调整,我们将保持抗跌防
 御立场,维持投资期限于中和水平,但也将趁低部
 署投资。我们也将精挑细选私人债券,因本地企业
 债券比主权债券具有相对韧力。

VI. 股票经纪回扣和非金钱利益

 经理人从股票经纪获得非金钱利益产品和服务,例
 如研究资料,数据及报价服务,基金投资管理相关
 电脑软件和投资相关刊物。这些所取得的非金钱利
 益都让基金单位持有人受惠。

Notes to the Financial Statements
30 June 2013

1. THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL
   ACTIVITIES
   Hong Leong Balanced Fund (hereinafter referred to as
   "the Fund") was constituted pursuant to the execution
   of a Deed dated 18 March 2002 and the
   Supplemental Deeds dated 6 August 2002 and 30
   April 2010 ("the Deed" collectively) between the
   Manager, Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd., the
   Trustee, Universal Trustee (Malaysia) Berhad and the
   registered unitholders of the Fund.

   The Fund's primary objective is to achieve regular
   income and consistent capital growth over the
   Medium-To-Long Term by investing into a diversified
   investment portfolio containing a balanced mixture
   of equities and fixed income securities.

   The Fund will invest in equity securities of companies
   operating in Malaysia. Generally, companies that
   have low shareholders' risk, strong balance sheets
   with strong operating cash flows and sustainable
   earnings, and low relative valuations represented by
   reasonable price earnings ratio (PER) or price-to-book
   ratios (P/B) are selected. Low shareholders' risk refers
   to shareholders or management with good business
   acumen, strong business performance track record
   and good corporate governance. The Fund
   commenced operations on 29 April 2002 and will
   continue its operations until terminated as provided
   under Part 13.1 of the Deed.

   The Manager of the Fund is Hong Leong Asset
   Management Bhd., a company incorporated in
   Malaysia. The principal activity of the Manager is the
   management of unit trust funds and private
   investment mandates. Its holding company is Hong
   Leong Capital Berhad, a company incorporated in
   Malaysia and listed on the Main Market of Bursa
   Malaysia Securities Berhad.

                                   HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   25
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
   The financial statements of the Fund have been
   prepared under the historical cost convention, unless
   otherwise stated in the accounting policies.

     2.1 Statement of Compliance
         The financial statements of the Fund have been
         prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial
         Reporting      Standards     ("MFRSs")     and
         International Financial Reporting Standards.
         These are the Fund's first annual financial
         statements prepared in accordance with MFRSs
         and MFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of Malaysian
         Financial Reporting Standards ("MFRS 1") has
         been applied.

              In previous financial years, the financial
              statements of the Fund were prepared in
              accordance with Financial Reporting Standards
              ("FRS") and the Securities Commission
              Malaysia's Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in
              Malaysia. There have been no significant
              financial impact arising from the transition to
              MFRSs.

     2.2 Functional and Presentation Currency
         The financial statements are presented in Ringgit
         Malaysia ("RM"), which is the Fund's functional
         currency, except otherwise indicated.

3. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   3.1 Significant Accounting Policies
       The accounting policies set out below have been
       applied consistently to the financial years
       presented in these financial statements and in
       preparing the opening MFRSs statement of
       financial position of the Fund as at 1 July 2011
       (the transition date to MFRSs Framework),
       unless otherwise stated.

26    HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Financial Assets
    Financial assets are recognised in the statement
    of financial position when, and only when, the
    Fund becomes a party to the contractual
    provisions of the financial instrument.

    When financial assets are recognised initially,
    they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case
    of financial assets not at FVTPL, directly
    attributable transaction costs.

    The Fund determines the classification of its
    financial assets at initial recognition, and the
    categories include financial assets at FVTPL and
    loans and receivables.

    (i) Financial Assets at FVTPL
        Financial assets are classified as financial
        assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading
        or are designated as such upon initial
        recognition. Financial assets held for trading
        include equity securities, derivatives,
        collective investment schemes, fixed income
        securities and negotiable instrument of
        deposits.

         Subsequent to initial recognition, financial
         assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value.
         Changes in the fair value of the financial
         instruments are recorded in 'Net gain or loss
         on financial instruments at FVTPL' in the
         statement of comprehensive income.
         Interest earned, gross dividend and
         distribution income and amortisation of
         premium/accretion of discount are recorded
         separately in 'Interest income', 'Gross
         dividend and distribution income' and
         'Amortisation of premiums, net of accretion

                               HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   27
of discount'. The exchange differences on
                      financial assets at FVTPL are not recognised
                      separately      in   the    statement      of
                      comprehensive income but are included in
                      net gain or net loss on changes in fair value
                      of financial instruments at FVTPL.

                      The fair value of quoted equity securities,
                      quoted derivatives and quoted collective
                      investment schemes are determined by
                      reference to closing bid prices quoted on
                      Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad at the last
                      business day of the financial year.

                      The fair value of unquoted collective
                      investment scheme is valued at last
                      published net asset value as at the last
                      business day of the financial year.

                      The fair value of unquoted fixed income
                      securities is valued by reference to indicative
                      prices published by Bond Pricing Agency
                      Malaysia on a daily basis.

                      The fair value of negotiable instrument of
                      deposits is marked-to-market with rates
                      obtained from its issuer on a daily basis. The
                      discount recognised in the statement of
                      comprehensive income is accreted based on
                      the effective yield basis over the remaining
                      terms of maturity from the date of
                      acquisition.

             (ii) Loans and receivables
                  Financial assets with fixed or determinable
                  payments that are not quoted in an active
                  market are classified as loans and
                  receivables. The Fund includes deposits with

28   HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
financial institutions, cash at banks and
         short term receivables in this classification.

         Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and
         receivables are measured at amortised cost
         using the effective interest method. Gains
         and losses are recognised in the statement
         of comprehensive income when the loans
         and receivables are derecognised or
         impaired, and through the amortisation
         process. The Fund does not have any loans
         and receivables as at reporting date.

(b) Impairment of Financial Assets
    The Fund assesses at each reporting date
    whether there is any objective evidence that a
    financial asset classified as loans and receivables
    is impaired.

     To determine whether there is objective evidence
     that an impairment loss on financial assets has
     been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as
     the probability of insolvency or significant
     financial difficulties of the debtor and default or
     significant delay in payments.

     If any such evidence exists, the amount of
     impairment loss is measured as the difference
     between the asset’s carrying amount and the
     present value of estimated future cash flows
     discounted at the financial asset’s original
     effective interest rate. The impairment loss is
     recognised in the statement of comprehensive
     income.

     The carrying amount of the financial asset is
     reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
     financial assets with the exception of trade

                                HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   29
receivables, where the carrying amount is
              reduced through the use of an allowance
              account. When a trade receivable becomes
              uncollectible, it is written off against the
              allowance account.

              If in a subsequent year, the amount of the
              impairment loss decreases and the decrease can
              be related objectively to an event occurring after
              the impairment was recognised, the previously
              recognised impairment loss is reversed to the
              extent that the carrying amount of the asset
              does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal
              date. The amount of reversal is recognised in the
              statement of comprehensive income.

     (c) Financial Liabilities
         Financial liabilities are classified according to the
         substance of the contractual arrangements
         entered into and the definitions of a financial
         liability.

              Financial liabilities are recognised in the
              statement of financial position when, and only
              when, the Fund becomes a party to the
              contractual provisions of the financial
              instrument.

              The Fund’s other financial liabilities which
              include trade and other payables are recognised
              initially at fair value plus directly attributable
              transaction costs and subsequently measured at
              amortised cost using the effective interest
              method.

              A financial liability is derecognised when the
              obligation under the liability is extinguished.
              Gains and losses are recognised in the statement

30    HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
of comprehensive income when the liabilities are
    derecognised, and through the amortisation
    process.

(d) Income Recognition
    Income is recognised to the extent that it is
    probable that the economic benefits will flow to
    the Fund and the income can be reliably
    measured. Income is measured at the fair value
    of consideration received or receivable.

    Interest income, amortisation of premium and
    accretion of discount are recognised using the
    effective interest method.

    Dividend income from quoted equity securities
    and distribution income from quoted and
    unquoted collective investment schemes are
    recognised when the Fund's right to receive
    payment is established.

(e) Classification of Realised and Unrealised Gains
    and Losses
    Unrealised gains and losses comprise changes in
    the fair value of financial instruments for the
    year and from reversal of prior financial year’s
    unrealised gains and losses for financial
    instruments which were realised (i.e. sold,
    redeemed or matured) during the financial year.

    Realised gains and losses on disposal of financial
    instruments classified as part of 'at FVTPL' are
    calculated using the weighted average method.
    They represent the difference between an
    instrument's carrying amount based on the
    weighted average method and the disposal
    amount of investments or cash payments.

                               HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   31
(f) Income Tax
         Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at
         the amount expected to be recovered from or
         paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax
         laws used to compute the amount are those that
         are enacted or substantively enacted by the
         reporting date.

              Current taxes are recognised in the statement of
              comprehensive income. No deferred tax is
              recognised as there are no material temporary
              differences.

     (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
         Cash and cash equivalents represent cash at
         banks and deposits with financial institutions
         which are readily convertible to cash on hand
         with insignificant risk of changes in value.

     (h) Unitholders’ Capital
         The unitholders' capital of the Fund meets the
         definition of puttable instruments classified as
         the Fund's own equity instruments under MFRS
         132. Distributions to unitholders are recorded in
         equity when declared.

              Distribution equalisation represents the average
              distributable amount included in the creation
              and cancellation prices of units. This amount is
              either refunded to unitholders by way of
              distribution and/or adjusted accordingly when
              units are cancelled.

     3.3 Transition to MFRSs and application of MFRS 1
         These are the Fund's first annual financial
         statements prepared in accordance with MFRSs.
         In previous financial years, the financial
         statements of the Fund were prepared in
         accordance with FRS in Malaysia and the

32    HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
Securities Commission Malaysia's Guidelines on
    Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia. The transition from
    FRS to MFRSs has not had a material impact on
    the Fund's financial position, financial
    performance and cash flows.

3.4 Standards issued but not yet effective
    The Fund has not adopted the following MFRSs,
    Amendments to MFRSs and Issues Committee

                  Instruments: Disclosures - Mandatory Date
                  of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures

             The Fund plans to adopt the above
             pronouncements when they become effective in
             the respective financial years. These
             pronouncements are expected to have no
             significant impact to the financial statements of
             the Fund upon their initial application except as
             described below:

             (a) MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
                 MFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of
                 the International Accounting Standards
                 Board's ("IASB") work on the replacement of

34   HONG L E O N G B A L A N C E D F U N D
MFRS       139      Financial    Instruments:
            Recognition and Measurement ("MFRS
            139") and applies to classification and
            measurement of financial assets and
            financial liabilities as defined in MFRS 139
            and replaces the guidance in MFRS 139.

        (b) MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
            MFRS 13 establishes a single source of
            guidance under MFRSs for all fair value
            measurements. MFRS 13 does not change
            when an entity is required to use fair value
            but rather provides guidance on how to
            measure fair value under MFRSs when fair
            value is required or permitted. The Manager
            is currently assessing the impact that MFRS
            13 will have on the financial position and
            performance of the Fund but based on
            preliminary analyses, no material impact is
            expected.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND
   JUDGEMENTS
   The preparation of the financial statements requires
   the use of certain accounting judgements, estimates
   and assumptions that are continually evaluated and
   based on the past experience, reasonable
   expectations of future events and other factors.
   Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
   could result in outcomes that could require material
   adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or
   liabilities affected in future.

   No major estimations have been made by the
   Manager in applying the Fund's accounting policies.
   There are no key assumptions concerning the future
   and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the

                                  HONG LEONG BALANCED FUND   35
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a
     material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the
     financial assets and financial liabilities within the next
     financial year.

Effective yield of the unquoted fixed income securities
     as at 30 June 2013 was 3.98% per annum.

     The Fund uses the following hierarchy for determining
     and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by
     valuation techniques.

     Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets
              for identical assets or liabilities;
     Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included
              within Level 1 that are observable for the
              assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as
              price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
     Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not
              based on observable market data
              (unobservable inputs).

     As at 30 June 2013, the fair value of the Fund's
     investments are determined based on level 1
     hierarchy as described above.
