NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note to the attention of the reader

1 Fund’s principal activity

Altus Trust (the "Trust") was formed by a Trust Deed dated May 02, 2002 and registered as an exempted trust under the Trusts Law of the Cayman Islands on May 9, 2002. The Trust was registered as a mutual fund under the Mutual Funds Law of the Cayman Islands on May 15, 2002. Altus Trust: Alpha Equity Fund - Hang Seng Index (the "Fund") is a sub-fund of the Trust and was formed by a Supplemental Deed dated January 5, 2005. The Fund is a sub-fund of the Trust and accordingly under the law of the Cayman Islands does not require separate registration as a mutual fund since it falls under the umbrella registration of the Trust. The Fund commenced operations in February 2005. The Fund is authorised by the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong and is required to comply with the Code on Unit Trusts and Mutual Funds established by the Securities & Futures Commission of Hong Kong. The Altus Trust : Alpha Equity Fund – Hang Seng Index:

− seeks to outperform the Index (Hang Seng Index) during the Investment Cycle (including the Investment Cycle Review Date) compared to the Initial Index Price; and

− guarantees to deliver the performance of the Index plus the Alpha (the highest Lock-in Index Price minus the Closing Index Price on the relevant Lock-in Date, capped at the highest Lock-in Index Price minus Initial Index Price) recorded (if any) on the Investment Cycle Review Date, compared to the Initial Index Price.

Unitholders are entitled to request the realisation of their Units on each Dealing Day during an Investment Cycle at the then prevailing Realisation Price per Unit (calculated by reference to the applicable Net Asset Value per Unit). Unitholders who realize their Units on an Investment Cycle Review Date will be entitled to receive a realisation price per Unit calculated by reference to the Net Asset Value per Unit as at the relevant Investment Cycle Review Date and which is guaranteed to be equal to: HK$10.00 x (Closing Index Price + Alpha) / Initial Index Price This means that on the Investment Cycle Review Date,

− if the Closing Index Price is equal to or above the Initial Index Price:

− investors receive the Initial Offer Price; plus

− 100% of the best positive performance of the Index recorded on any quarterly Lock-in Date during the Investment Cycle multiplied by the Initial Offer Price (i.e. the highest Lock-in Index Price divided by the Initial Index Price minus one).

− if the Closing Index Price is below the Initial Index Price:

− investors receive the Initial Offer Price multiplied by the performance of the Index recorded on the Investment Cycle Review Date; plus

− 100% of the best positive performance of the Index recorded on any quarterly Lock-in Date during the Investment Cycle multiplied by the Initial Offer Price (i.e. the highest Lock-in Index Price divided by the Initial Index Price minus one).

ALTUS TRUST : ALPHA EQUITY FUND - HANG SENG INDEX

10

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The terms definitions and the details of the investment objectives are set in the Fund Specific Memorandum. Investors should note that this does not amount to a capital guarantee in respect of an investor’s original investment in the Fund and the realisation price per Unit on the relevant Investment Cycle Review Date will be fully exposed to the performance, measured over the Investment Cycle Start Date to the Investment Cycle Review Date, of the Index. The deed of guarantee is conditional upon the Manager of the Fund not being removed at the request of Unitholders pursuant to Clause 25.1(c) of the Trust Deed, namely, Unitholders of not less than 50% in value of the Units in issue deliver a written request to the Trustee that the Manager should retire. This investment strategy is further enhanced by the Deed of Guarantee given by Société Générale. The Manager has also been appointed to act as the Guarantee Claims Agent in connection with the Deed of Guarantee executed by Société Générale.

2 Principal accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. (a) Basis of preparations

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities to fair value and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates included in the financial statements. Principal accounting policies are as follows.

All references to net assets throughout this document refer to net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating units unless otherwise stated.

(b) Functional currency

Items included in the Fund’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (‘the functional currency’). This is the Hong-Kong Dollar (HKD), which reflects the Fund’s primary activity of investing in HK assets and the fact that the units are issued in HK dollars. The presentation currency is the same as the functional currency.

ALTUS TRUST : ALPHA EQUITY FUND - HANG SENG INDEX

11

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (c) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and liabilities have been designated by management at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Regular-way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date – the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs for all financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Investments

Listed investments are valued at the official close of business bid price on the principal regulated market. The Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) is valued at its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Manager. Deposits are valued at their nominal value plus accrued interests. Accrued interests are recognised in income statement. The resulting unrealised gains and losses on investments are recognised in the income statement. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date on which the order to buy or sell is executed). Realised gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on an average cost basis and are recorded in the income statement. Foreign currency transactions are translated into HKD 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 at year-end exchange rates of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement and included in realised and unrealised gains / (loss) on investments.

(d) Income and expenses

Dividend income on equity is credited to Dividend Income in the Income statement when the security is quoted as ex-dividend. All expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis.

(e) Proceeds and payments on issue and redemption of units

The net asset value of the Fund is computed weekly. Prices for issues and redemptions are based on the latest available underlying prices on the day immediately preceding the valuation day (usually the underlying closing prices).

Proceeds and payments for units issued and redeemed during fund life are shown as movements in the statement of changes in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating units.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Investors’ attention is drawn to the following risk factors: The performance of the Fund is subject to a number of risk factors, including those set out below: (a) Political, economic and social risks - All financial markets may at times be adversely affected by

changes in political, economic and social conditions. (b) Diversification risk - On the Launch Date and thereafter on each Investment Cycle Start Date,

the Fund’s assets will be mainly invested in the Index Shares. This means that investors realizing their Units as at the relevant Investment Cycle Review Date will be fully exposed to the performance, measured over the relevant Investment Cycle Start Date to the Investment Cycle Review Date, of the Index which could result in them receiving a Realisation Price per Unit as at an Investment Cycle Review Date below the issue price per Unit as at the relevant Investment Cycle Start Date.

(c) Market risk - The Fund’s investments are subject to the risks inherent in all securities,

including the fact that the value of holdings may go down as well as up. (d) No capital guarantee - Investors should note that the guarantee provided by Société Générale

concerning the calculation of the Realisation Price per Unit on an Investment Cycle Review Date does not amount to a capital guarantee in respect of an investor’s original investment in the Fund. The Realisation Price per Unit on an Investment Cycle Review Date will be fully exposed to the performance, measured over the Investment Cycle Start Date to the Investment Cycle Review Date, of the Index.

(e) Guarantor risk - Investors should note that Société Générale will act as the Guarantor

(concerning the Realisation Price per Unit on the Maturity Date, as described in the Fund Specific Memorandum). As a result, investors will be exposed to the credit risk of Société Générale.

(f) Licence to use the Hang Seng Index may be terminated - The Manager has been granted a

licence by Hang Seng Data Services Limited and HSI Services Limited (“HSI”) to the use of and reference to the Index in connection with the Fund. The Fund may not be able to fulfil its objections and may be terminated if such licence is revoked. In addition, the Fund may also be terminated if the Index ceases to be complied or published and there is no replacement index which, in the opinion of the Manager adopts the same or substantially the same formula and methodology as used in calculating the Index.

(g) Liability Risk - In accordance with the Trust Deed, the assets and liabilities of the sub fund are

segregated from the asset and liabilities of the other sub-funds of the Altus Trust.
