     Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund      1
Manager’s Review and Report

  Dear Unitholder,

  We wish to present to you the Hong Leong Islamic Income
  Management Fund’s (HLIIMF) audited annual report for the
  12-month financial year ended 31 October 2012.

  It has been a buoyant period for the Malaysian sukuk markets,
  albeit risk-on/risk-off dynamic over news of the global central
  banks to avert the lingering European debt crisis and to bolster
  the slowing global economy continues to dominate investors’
  sentiment.

  The market run-up was boosted by the following themes:

  •    Renewed global growth concerns: Gloomy economic data in
       the developed countries and the major emerging economies
       spark worries of a broad-based global slowdown;
  •    Persistent worries over the depth of the European debt
       crisis (due to political turmoil in Greece and the Spanish
       banking woes);
  •    Unbridled release of liquidity by the European Central Bank
       (ECB) via long-term refinancing operations (LTROs) spurred
       the allure of emerging market currencies and prompted
       foreign funds to flow into emerging market debts;
  •    Expectations of neutral/downward bias to interest rate
       decisions by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM);
  •    Easing inflationary pressures;
  •    Fresh round of quantitative easing (QE3) and the unlimited
       purchase of European distressed sovereign debts program
       launched by the Federal Reserve and ECB.

  BNM has thus far (at the MPC meeting on 8 November 2012)
  remained accommodative to keep the economy growing by
  maintaining the overnight policy rate at 3.00% in view of the
  faltering global growth prospects.

  We continue to be cautiously optimistic on the Malaysian
  economic outlook and cognizant of global headwinds confronting
  a general slowdown in the pace of growth and Euro-area
  concerns. The Malaysian economy is relatively healthy and is

      Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund                 1
growing at a robust pace. Meanwhile, goodies and cash handouts
    from the Budget 2013 as well as the stimulus excitement from
    ETP-related projects will serve as strong catalysts to support
    domestic consumption in 2013, while helping to shrug off the
    adverse impacts on the external front.

    Outside Malaysia, it is “the economy is improving but not great”
    scenario. Most notably, US retail sales and housing starts were
    stronger than expected, contributing to the sense that the US
    economy may be gaining momentum. China’s data also may
    tentatively suggest its growth is poised to stabilize. Moreover,
    fears of a severe deterioration of the euro crisis appear to be
    ebbing, as the EU met for its latest summit to hash out details
    on fiscal and banking union reforms.

    Strategy-wise, we have significantly reduced the duration of
    our portfolio, preferring credit for yield pick-up. However, sukuk
    markets remain expensive as a result of the continuing uptrend in
    foreign ownership of outstanding Malaysian Government Sukuk,
    reducing overall yield levels.

    For the review period, the Fund had distributed 12 times income
    distributions of 0.12 sen per unit on 25 November 2011, 0.12 sen
    per unit on 23 December 2011, 0.13 sen per unit on 25 January
    2012, 0.12 sen per unit on 24 February 2012, 0.10 sen per unit on
    23 March 2012, 0.12 sen per unit on 25 April 2012, 0.10 sen per
    unit on 25 May 2012, 0.11 sen per unit on 25 June 2012, 0.11 sen
    per unit on 25 July 2012, 0.11 sen per unit on 24 August 2012, 0.12
    sen per unit on 25 September 2012 and 0.12 sen per unit on 25
    October 2012.

    The cum-distribution net asset values (NAVs) for the 12
    distributions were RM0.5035, RM0.5035, RM0.5045,
    RM0.5047, RM0.5042, RM0.5045, RM0.5043, RM0.5045,
    RM0.5048, RM0.5049, RM0.5045 and RM0.5046 while the
    ex-distribution NAVs were RM0.5023, RM0.5023, RM0.5032,
    RM0.5035, RM0.5032, RM0.5033, RM0.5033, RM0.5034,
    RM0.5037, RM0.5038, RM0.5033 and RM0.5034. The reason
    for conducting the income distributions was to generate regular
    income for investors on a monthly basis. Investors should note

that the income distributions did not affect the value of their
     investment.

     Last but not least, we would like to thank you for all the support
     that you have rendered us and we will strive to make the
     opportunities work for you.

I.   HLIIMF’s PERFORMANCE MEASURED AGAINST
     INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

     Investment Objective

     Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund (HLIIMF) is an
     Islamic fixed income (Income) fund. Its objective is to provide
     investors with a low risk investment portfolio offering a stable
     and regular stream of income* and stability in capital** while
     adhering to Shariah Requirements.

     Distribution Policy

     The Fund aims to provide monthly cash distributions on a best
     effort basis. The rate of the cash distribution will be determined
     at every month end in order to bring the NAV of the Fund to the
     proposed range of RM0.5000 per Unit. The distribution will be
     subject to availability of sufficient reserves for cash distribution.
     Investors should note that regular distributions of the Fund are
     not guaranteed and are not in any way to forecast the future or
     likely performance of the Fund.

     Performance Review

     Over the past twelve months, HLIIMF posted a total return of
     3.08% while its benchmark, the Maybank 1 Month GIA-I Tier
     1 Rate returned 2.92% for the same period under review. This
     translated into 0.16% outperformance against the benchmark.

     Notes:
     *     Income may be distributed in the form of cash and/or units.
     **    Please take note that this Fund is not a capital guaranteed fund or
           a capital protected fund and the returns are not guaranteed.

          Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund                         3
The Fund has met its objective of providing a stable stream of
    income to its Unitholders, while maintaining the stability of the
    invested capital throughout the review period.

	Going forward, the Fund remains actively managed and
 positioned to seize opportunities in the current market
 environment, as the Fund will continue to strive to provide a
 stable stream of income while maintaining the stability of the
 invested capital.

    For the financial year, 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.

As of 31 October 2012, the Fund is predominantly invested in
short-tenured private sukuk. The Fund had significantly reduced
its exposure to government sukuk due to the volatility caused by
the recent wave of global central banks policy actions across the
developed countries.

Currently, the Fund’s duration stands at 1.77 years, in line with
our strategy to ensure capital stability.

The top-three holdings of the Fund are DanaInfra Nasional
Berhad - Government Sukuk (5.16%), Manjung Island Energy
Berhad - Private Sukuk (4.19%) and Aman Sukuk Berhad - Private
Sukuk (4.10%).

IV. REVIEW OF THE MARKET IN WHICH THE FUND
    INVESTED DURING THE PERIOD

  Sukuk prices rallied as investors bided safe assets amid renewed
  economic worries. Buoyant sentiment was also underpinned
  by the persistent fears over the Eurozone debt turmoil, which
  spurred flight to qualities and kept sovereign sukuk yields in a
  bull-flattening trend.

  News of ECB issuance of €530 billion of fresh 3-year loan via
  LTRO into the European banking system further enhanced the
  allure of emerging market currencies and shaped a supportive
  ground for the Malaysian sukuk markets.

  After a strong run up since the second quarter of 2012, the
  government sukuk market experienced a sharp selloff in the
  months of August and September caused by profit taking
  of government sukuk on stronger Ringgit as well as looming
  uncertainty on the impending elections amid sparse liquidity.

  However, sukuk prices regained firmer footing at the tail end
  of the financial year as a fresh round of quantitative easing
  (QE3) boosted the demand for emerging market debts and
  benefited government sukuk prices. Meanwhile, resurgence of
  the global growth worries aggravated investors’ concerns over
  a prolonged global economic slowdown and invited risk-off
  trades among investors.

  Despite a sharper-than-anticipated economic slowdown on
  the global front, the Malaysian economy continues to grow
  solidly, with the second quarter GDP posting a decent growth
  of 5.4%. Thanks to the resilient domestic demand conditions
  and the implementation of the high-impact projects under the
  ETP and 10th Malaysia Plan, which supported domestic growth
  momentum amid buzz of the 13th General Election.

  On the monetary policy front, BNM maintained the OPR at
  3.00% over the past twelve months. The tone of the policy
  statement signals an extended rate pause to ensure a stronger
  domestic economic recovery as external risks are still very much
  present and it would be premature to raise interest rates.

    Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund                   11
Inflation, on the other hand, bucked the regional trend as it
     eased to 1.3% in September 2012 from 3.2% in 2011, providing
     more leeway for BNM to continue calling for rate pause in the
     near term.

V. FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROPOSED STRATEGIES

     Global economic growth continues to be hampered by
     uncertainty stemming from stagnant developments in the
     developed countries. In the Euro area, Spain has yet to tap into
     ECB’s Outright Monetary Transaction (OMT) programme,
     bringing the progress of resolving the Euro debt crisis to a
     standstill.

     In the US, political gridlock remains a huge barrier to a swift
     resolution on its looming ‘Fiscal Cliff’, where budget cuts and
     automatic expiration of tax provisions of an estimated USD
     560 billion or 3.5% of US GDP will bring about a significant
     slowdown in its economy.

     As such, with robust domestic consumption supporting the
     local economy, we expect BNM to continue its accommodative
     stance in the OPR for the remainder of the year to provide room
     for manoeuvre in the event of any adverse developments in the
     global economic condition.

     We believe that the increased liquidity created by monetary
     policy easing in several countries such as Europe, US and Japan
     will be supportive for the local sukuk markets.

     With the pledges of long-term low interest rates in the advanced
     economies, stable emerging markets such as Malaysia will be
     viewed favourably by investors in their search for higher yielding
     investments amidst a gradually improving risk sentiment, as can
     be seen from the current whopping 41.5% government sukuk
     held by foreigners.

     However, we are not expecting a rally in the government sukuk
     market as seen in the first half of the year due to the looming

12      H on g L eon g I slamic I ncome M ana g ement F und
uncertainty of imminent elections. As such, we continue to
  shorten duration where possible to reduce the impact of market
  volatility in the near term and search for corporate sukuk with
  solid fundamentals and strong cash flows that pay a reasonable
  rate of return.

Ulasan dan Laporan Pengurus

     Pemegang Unit yang Dihormati,

     Kami membentangkan kepada anda laporan tahunan beraudit
     Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund (HLIIMF) untuk
     tahun kewangan 12-bulan berakhir 31 Oktober 2012.

     Ia adalah tempoh cergas untuk pasaran sukuk Malaysia,
     walaupun dinamik risiko tinggi/risiko rendah akibat aliran berita
     dari bank-bank pusat global yang berusaha untuk mengelak
     daripada krisis hutang Eropah yang berlanjutan dan untuk
     merangsang ekonomi global yang perlahan masih mendominasi
     sentimen pelabur.

     Pergerakan pasaran ini telah dimangkin oleh keadaan berikut:

     •   Kebimbangan pertumbuhan global kembali ke pasaran: Data
         ekonomi yang suram di negara-negara membangun dan
         ekonomi baru muncul utama mencetuskan kebimbangan
         akan berlaku kemelesetan global yang meluas;
     •   Kebimbangan berterusan mengenai krisis hutang Eropah
         yang semakin teruk (akibat pergeseran politik di Greece
         dan masalah perbankan Sepanyol);
     •   Suntikan kecairan tanpa henti oleh Bank Pusat Eropah
         (ECB) melalui operasi pembiayaan jangka panjang (LTRO)
         mencetuskan minat ke atas matawang pasaran baru
         muncul dan menyebabkan dana asing mengalir masuk ke
         pasaran hutang baru muncul;
     •   Keputusan kadar faedah oleh Bank Negara Malaysia
         (BNM) dijangka neutral / cenderung menurun;
     •   Tekanan inflasi yang berkurangan;
     •   Pusingan terbaru pelonggaran kuantitatif (QE3) dan
         program pembelian tanpa had hutang kerajaan Eropah
         yang bermasalah yang telah dilancarkan oleh Federal
         Reserve dan ECB.

     Setakat ini, BNM (semasa mesyuarat MPC pada 8 November
     2012) kekal bertolak ansur untuk terus menggalakkan
     pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan mengekalkan kadar dasar
     semalaman pada 3.00% memandangkan prospek pertumbuhan
     global yang agak goyah buat masa ini.

14       H on g L eon g I slamic I ncome M ana g ement F und
Kami masih agak optimistik dengan unjuran ekonomi Malaysia
dan berwaspada dengan pergolakan global yang mungkin
memperlahankan pertumbuhan serta ketidakstabilan yang
melanda Eropah. Ekonomi Malaysia masih sihat dan berkembang
pada kadar yang cergas. Sementara itu, pembangunan dan
agihan tunai dari Bajet 2013 serta keterujaan dari projek
berkaitan ETP akan bertindak sebagai pemangkin kukuh untuk
menyokong penggunaan domestik pada 2013, dan membantu
menampan impak yang membimbangkan dari luar.

Di luar Malaysia, keadaan “ekonomi sedang mengalami
pemulihan tetap tidak hebat”. Paling ketara, jualan runcit
dan perumahan di AS bermula lebih kukuh dari jangkaan,
menyumbang kepada keyakinan bahawa momentum ekonomi
AS mungkin telah bermula. Data China juga mungkin turut
menyarankan bahawa pertumbuhannya telah mula stabil
kembali. Tambahan pula, kebimbangan mengenai kemerosotan
krisis Eropah kelihatan berkurangan apabila EU bertemu untuk
mesyuarat terbarunya untuk menghuraikan tindakan lanjut
mengenai pemulihan fiskal dan kesatuan perbankan.

Dari segi strategi pula, kami telah mengurangkan tempoh
portfolio kita, memilih kredit untuk peningkatan pulangan.
Bagaimanapun, pasaran sukuk kekal mahal akibat trend menaik
pemilikan asing di dalam Sukuk Kerajaan Malaysia, sekaligus
mengurangkan tahap pulangan secara menyeluruh.

Semasa tempoh di bawah ulasan, Dana telah membayar agihan
tunai sebanyak 12 kali iaitu 0.12 sen se unit pada 25 November
2011, 0.12 sen se unit pada 23 Disember 2011, 0.13 sen se unit
pada 25 Januari 2012, 0.12 sen se unit pada 24 Februari 2012,
0.10 sen se unit pada 23 Mac 2012, 0.12 sen se unit pada 25 April
2012, 0.10 sen se unit pada 25 Mei 2012, 0.11 sen se unit pada
25 Jun 2012, 0.11 sen se unit pada 25 Julai 2012, 0.11 sen se unit
pada 24 Ogos 2012, 0.12 sen se unit pada 25 September 2012
dan 0.12 sen se unit pada 25 Oktober 2012.

Nilai aset bersih (NAV) sebelum agihan untuk 12 agihan tersebut
masing-masing ialah RM0.5035, RM0.5035, RM0.5045,
RM0.5047, RM0.5042, RM0.5045, RM0.5043, RM0.5045,

     RM0.5034, RM0.5037, RM0.5038, RM0.5033 dan RM0.5034.
     Tujuan agihan pendapatan dilaksanakan adalah untuk menjana
     pendapatan tetap kepada pelabur secara bulanan. Pelabur
     diminta mengambil perhatian bahawa agihan tunai tidak
     menjejaskan nilai pelaburan mereka.

     Akhir kata, kami ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih di
     atas sokongan yang telah anda berikan dan kami akan sentiasa
     berusaha untuk menjadikan peluang suatu kenyataan buat anda.

IV. ULASAN PASARAN DI MANA DANA MELABUR
    SEPANJANG TEMPOH

     Harga sukuk mengalami lonjakan apabila pelabur membida
     aset selamat semasa berhadapan dengan kebimbangan
     ekonomi yang muncul kembali. Sentimen cergas juga disokong
     oleh kebimbangan yang masih dialami akibat pergolakan
     hutang Eropah, yang mencetuskan peralihan kepada kualiti
     dan mengekalkan pulangan sukuk kerajaan dalam aliran tegak
     menaik.

     Berita mengenai ECB menerbitkan pinjaman baru 3-tahun
     berjumlah €530 bilion melalui LTRO ke dalam sistem perbankan
     Eropah turut menggalakkan minat ke atas matawang pasaran
     baru muncul dan membentuk sokongan yang kukuh untuk
     pasaran sukuk Malaysia.

     Setelah mengalami kenaikan kukuh sejak suku kedua 2012,
     pasaran sukuk kerajaan dilanda jualan turun yang besar pada
     bulan Ogos dan September yang berpunca dari pengambilan
     untung sukuk kerajaan berikutan Ringgit yang kukuh serta
     ketidakpastian mengenai pilihanraya yang bakal berlangsung
     dan kecairan yang berkurangan.

     Bagaimanapun, harga sukuk kembali kukuh pada penghujung
     tahun kewangan apabila pusingan baru pelonggaran
     kuantitatif (QE3) memangkin permintaan untuk hutang
     pasaran baru muncul dan memberi manfaat kepada harga
     sukuk kerajaan. Sementara itu, kebimbangan mengenai
     pertumbuhan global yang muncul kembali telah menambah
     kerisauan pelabur berhubung keperlahanan ekonomi global
     yang masih berlanjutan dan mewujudkan dagangan demi
     mengelakkan risiko di kalangan pelabur.

     Walaupun ekonomi global mengalami keperlahanan yang
     lebih teruk dari jangkaan, ekonomi Malaysia masih terus
     mengalami pertumbuhan yang teguh, di mana KDNK suku
     kedua mencatatkan pertumbuhan yang memuaskan pada
     5.4%. Meskipun terdapat tanda tanya mengenai Pilihanraya
     Umum ke-13, momentum pertumbuhan domestik ini telah
     disokong oleh suasana permintaan domestik yang teguh
     bertahan dan pelaksanaan projek berimpak tinggi di bawah
     ETP dan Rancangan Malaysia ke-10.

24      H on g L eon g I slamic I ncome M ana g ement F und
Untuk dasar kewangan pula, BNM mengekalkan OPR pada
  kadar 3.00% sepanjang dua belas bulan lepas. Dasar yang
  dinyatakan ini menandakan pemberhentian sejenak kadar akan
  dilanjutkan untuk memastikan pemulihan ekonomi tempatan
  yang lebih kukuh memandangkan risiko luaran masih dirasai
  dan agak terlalu awal untuk menaikkan kadar faedah.

  Inflasi pula bergerak bertentangan berbanding aliran serantau
  apabila ia menyusut ke 1.3% pada bulan September berbanding
  3.2% pada 2011, membolehkan BNM meneruskan pengekalan
  kadar untuk jangka pendek.

V. PROSPEK MASA HADAPAN DAN SARANAN
   STRATEGI

  Pertumbuhan ekonomi global masih terus dibelenggu oleh
  ketidakpastian yang berpunca daripada pembangunan yang
  lembap di negara membangun. Di Eropah pula, Sepanyol masih
  belum mendapatkan program Transaksi Moniteri Langsung
  (OMT) yang ditawarkan oleh ECB, menjadikan progres
  penyelesaian krisis hutang Eropah tergendala.

  Di AS pula, percanggahan politik masih menjadi halangan
  utama untuk menyelesaikan “Fiscal Cliff” yang bakal berlaku,
  di mana pemotongan bajet dan penamatan automatik
  peruntukan cukai yang dianggarkan bernilai USD 560 juta atau
  3.5% daripada KDNK AS akan menyebabkan kemelesetan
  ketara dalam ekonominya.

  Oleh itu, dengan penggunaan domestik yang menyokong
  ekonomi tempatan, kami menjangkakan bahawa BNM akan
  meneruskan langkah akomodasinya dengan mengekalkan
  OPR sehingga akhir tahun untuk menyediakan ruang tindakan
  sekiranya keadaan ekonomi global mengalami perubahan
  ketara.

  Kami percaya peningkatan kecairan yang disebabkan oleh
  pelonggaran dasar moniteri di beberapa negara seperti Eropah,
  AS dan Jepun akan membantu menyokong pasaran sukuk
  tempatan.

    Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund               25
Dengan adanya jaminan kadar faedah rendah untuk jangka
     panjang oleh negara maju, pasaran baru muncul yang stabil
     seperti Malaysia akan dilihat sebagai amat menarik oleh
     pelabur yang mencari pulangan lebih tinggi untuk pelaburan
     mereka, tambahan pula sentimen risiko turut mengalami
     pemulihan beransur-ansur. Keyakinan ini dapat dilihat di mana
     41.5% sukuk kerajaan kini dipegang oleh pelabur asing.

     Bagaimanapun, kami tidak menjangkakan sebarang loncatan di
     pasaran sukuk tempatan sebagaimana yang berlaku pada suku
     pertama tahun berikutan adanya ketidakpastian mengenai
     pilihanraya yang bakal berlangsung. Oleh itu, kami akan
     terus memendekkan tempoh pegangan selagi terdaya untuk
     mengurangkan impak kemeruapan pasaran dalam tempoh
     terdekat dan mencari sukuk yang memiliki asas yang kukuh
     dan aliran tunai teguh yang mampu membayar kadar pulangan
     yang sewajarnya.

         historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting
         policies below and are presented in Ringgit Malaysia
         (“RM”).

     2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies

         of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of
         new and revised FRSs and Interpretations of the Issues

         value measurements is now required, as well as significant
         transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy. The
         amendments also clarify the requirements for liquidity

2.3 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 Shariah-compliant equity
         securities, Islamic derivative and Shariah-based
         collective investment schemes.

         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. Profit
         earned and amortisaton of premium/accrection of
         discount are recorded separately in ‘Profit from bank
         balances and Shariah-based deposits’ and ‘Profit
         from sukuk’ and ‘Amortisation of premium, net of
         accretion of discount’.

 Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund                   33
The fair values of quoted Shariah-compliant equity
            securities, quoted Islamic derivative and quoted
            Shariah-based 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 end.

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

        (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 Shariah-based deposits with 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 profit method. Gains and losses are
            recognised in profit or loss when the loans and
            receivables are derecognised or impaired, and
            through the amortisation process. The Fund does
            not have any loan 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.

34   H on g L eon g I slamic I ncome M ana g ement F und
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 profit method. The impairment loss
     is recognised in profit or loss.

     The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced
     by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets
     with the exception of trade 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 period, 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 profit or loss. The Fund does not have any loan
     receivables as at reporting date.

 (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, within the scope of FRS 139, 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.
     Financial liabilities are classified as other financial
     liabilities.

Hong Leong Islamic Income Management Fund                 35
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 profit method.

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

         Profit from bank balances and Shariah-based deposits,
         profit from sukuk, amortisation of premium and
         accretion of discount are recognised using the effective
         profit method.

         Dividend income from quoted Shariah-compliant
         equity securities and distribution income from quoted
         Shariah-based collective investment schems 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 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 Shariah-compliant
    investments.

 (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 profit or loss. No
    deferred tax is recognised as there are no material
    temporary differences.

 (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank
    and Shariah-based deposits with financial institutions
    which are readily convertible to cash on handwith
    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 the revised FRS 132.
    Distribution 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.

(i) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

             The preparation of financial statements in accordance
             with FRSs requires the use of certain accounting
             estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and
             judgements are continually evaluated and are based
             on past experience, reasonable expectations of future
             events and other factors.

             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 reporting
             date, that have a significant risk of causing a material
             adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
             liabilities within the next year.

     2.4 Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards

         On 19 November 2011, the Malaysian Accounting Standard
         Board (“MASB”) issued a new MASB approved accounting
         framework, the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards
         (MFRS Framework”).

         The Fund will be required to prepare financial statements
         using the MFRS Framework in its first MFRS financial
         statements for the year ending 31 October 2013.

         The directors of the Manager are of the opinion that the
         financial performance and financial position as disclosed in
         these financial statements for the year ended 31 October
         2012 would not be significantly different if prepared under
         the MFRS Framework.

3. MANAGEMENT FEE

     The management fee is 0.50% per annum calculated on the net
     asset value of the Fund on a daily basis as provided under Division
     13.1 of the Deed.

4. TRUSTEE’S FEE
