SUMMARISED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
The preparation of the audited financial results for the year ended 30 June 2012 was supervised by Nicolene Maas
CA(SA), a director of RMB CIS Manco Proprietary Limited.
The financial statements incorporate the principal policies set out below, which have been consistently applied to
all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("the IASB"), and in accordance with the requirements of
the trust deed of the Fund ("the Trust Deed") and the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, No 45 of 2002.
Financial Instruments
Measurement
Financial instruments, being government bonds, are recognised when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of that particular instrument. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value,
and for instruments not at fair-value-through-profit-or-loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
Investments
Listed investments are measured at fair-value-through-profit-or-loss. Fair value is determined with reference to
quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period, as published in the financial press at the end of the
reporting period. Interest received on listed investments measured at fair-value-through-profit-or-loss is disclosed
separately under revenue, based on cash received within the period.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables originated by the Fund are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest
rate method, less impairment losses. Trade and other receivables are short-term in nature and are not discounted.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, other than those held at fair-value-through-profit-or-loss, are measured at amortised cost, using
the effective interest rate method.
Fair value gains and losses on subsequent measurement
Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value on financial instruments are included in net profit or loss in
the year in which the change arises.
Creations and redemptions
Creations and redemptions are recorded on trade date, using historic cost, being the previous day closing index
price.
Offset
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position
when the Fund has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and intends either to settle on a
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derecognition of financial instruments
The Fund derecognises financial assets when and only when:
- The contractual right to the cash flows arising from the financial assets have expired or have been forfeited
by the Fund; or
- It transfers the financial assets, including substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets;
or
- It transfers the financial assets, neither retaining nor transferring substantially all the risks and reward of
ownership of the asset, but no longer retains control of the assets.
A financial liability is derecognised when and only when the liability is extinguished. This is, when the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a
financial liability (or part thereof) extinguished or transferred to another party and consideration paid, including any
non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Revenue
Revenue comprises interest income.
Interest income
Interest income on assets recognised at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss, using the effective interest
rate method, taking into account the expected timing and amount of cash flows. The effective interest rate method
is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest
income or interest expense over the average expected life of the financial instruments or portfolios of financial
instruments. Interest income received on assets measured at fair-value-through-profit-or-loss is disclosed
separately under revenue, based on cash received within the period.
Taxation
Under the current system of taxation in South Africa, the Fund is exempt from paying taxation on income or capital
gains. Both income and capital gains are taxed in the hands of the investors.
Expenses
Expenses are recognised as incurred.
Impairment
Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of the reporting period to
determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication exists, an impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss 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. If in a subsequent
year the amount of an impairment loss recognised on a financial asset carried at amortised cost decreases, and
the decrease can be linked objectively to an event that occurred after the write down, the write down is reversed
through the statement of comprehensive income.
Finance costs
Distributions payable on redeemable units are recognised in profit or loss as finance costs under distributions.
Redeemable securities
All redeemable securities issued by the Fund provide investors with the right to require redemption for the cash or
in specie at the value proportionate to the investors' share. Such instruments give rise to equity instruments for the
net asset value of the redemption amount in the statement of financial position. In accordance with the Trust Deed
of the Fund and the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, the Fund is contractually obliged to redeem
securities at the net asset value.
Distributions
In accordance with the Fund's Trust Deed, the Fund distributes its distributable income and any other amounts
determined by the Manager of the Fund to security holders in cash.
New standards and interpretations adopted in the current financial period
The following standard was adopted by the Fund in the current financial period:
- IFRS 7: Financial Instruments (Effective for annual periods on or after 1 July 2011). Disclosures was
amended in October 2010 to include additional disclosure requirements for financial assets transferred but not
derecognised and for financial assets that are derecognised, but the entity retains some form of continuing
involvement after the transaction. This amendment addresses disclosure in the annual financial statements
and does not affect the recognition and measurement of financial assets. This amendment has no impact on
the Fund in the current year as no such transactions took place, and therefore no additional disclosures need
to be made as required by this standard.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies
Assumptions and estimates form an integral part of financial reporting and have an impact on the amounts
reported. Assumptions are based on historical experience and expectations of future outcomes and anticipated
changes in the environment. No significant accounting estimates and judgements have been applied in the
financial statements of the Fund.
SUMMARISED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
Listed investments held at fair-value-through-profit-or-loss
The following principle methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair value of the financial instruments
that are carried at fair value:
Listed government stock
The fair value of listed government stock is determined using unadjusted quoted prices. The Fund therefore
classifies the fair value measurement of the listed government bonds in the Level 1 category, on the basis that the
fair value of the listed government bonds is determined using unadjusted quoted prices.

from time to time, of the market value of the investments of the Fund. During the period a service fee of 36 (thirty
six) basis points of the market value of the investments of the Fund has been applied.

Taxation
Any taxable income realised during the year, whether of a capital or revenue nature, has been distributed to the
holders of the Fund securities. As a result, both income and capital gains are taxed in the hands of the investors.
Risk analysis
The Fund is a passive investor in inflation linked bonds issued by the government of the Republic of South Africa in
percentages to which each bond contributes to the Government Inflation Linked Bond Index ("the Index"). The risk
that management must control is that the Fund does not track the Index.
Exposure to investment, credit, market and operational risks arise in the normal course of investment activities in
government bonds. The Fund's acceptance of risk is directly attributable to the risks associated with any
investment in government bonds.
The objectives for managing the risks associated with financial instruments held for investment purposes, as well
as a brief description of the relevant risks and methods adopted to mitigate these risks, are outlined in more detail
below. The Fund is regulated in terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act ("CISCA"/"the Act").
In terms of the Act, the Manager must appoint a Trustee. The assets of the portfolio are held under the control of
the Trustee.
Management monitors compliance in terms of the CISCA requirements and reports are submitted to the Financial
Services Board ("FSB") on a monthly basis. Daily pricing of the Fund is publicly available. The Manager's Audit
Committee oversees management's compliance with the Fund's risk management framework in relation to the risks
faced by the Fund.
The Fund has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Investment risk;
- Tracking risk;
- Operational risk;
- Liquidity risk; and
- Market risk.
The abovementioned risks are addressed below in more detail.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to non-performance of a counterparty in respect of any financial or performance
obligation. For fair value portfolios, the definition of credit risk is expanded to include the risk of losses through fair
value changes arising from changes in credit spreads. The Fund's exposure to credit risk could be as a result of a
counterparty to a transaction failing to meet its contractual obligations. This could arise primarily from the Fund's
investment activities. Credit risk is considered to be low, as assets of the Fund are government inflation linked
bonds rated AAA by Standard & Poor. The bank balance is held at ABSA, which is rated BBBpi by Standard &
Poor.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:
2012 2011
Rand Rand
Cash and cash equivalents 10 699 318 9 177 020
Trade and other receivables - 297
Investment risk
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.
Tracking risk
The Fund portfolio is reweighted monthly and rebalanced quarterly in line with the nominal amount in issue of the
current five inflation linked bonds issued by National Treasury.
Operational risk
The Manager purely executes and administers trades. The asset management function relies on the Asset Liability
Matching system that the Manager uses for its own internal risk management. Assets are held in custody at ABSA
Trust. Trades are all in listed government bonds, which settle through STRATE and are held in immobilised form at
STRATE.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its financial obligations towards investors when they
fall due. The approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the Fund would be able to pay suitable
distributions to investors on a quarterly basis. All dividend distributions are calculated and approved by the
Manager. In the primary market, Fund securities are created and destroyed through the delivery of the underlying
bonds. There is no obligation to accept or deliver cash to unit holders who wish to create or destroy units.
Market makers will attempt to maintain a high degree of liquidity through continuously offering to buy and sell the
Fund securities at prices around the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund securities, thereby ensuring tight buy and
sell spreads. Under normal circumstances and conditions, the investor will be able to buy or sell Fund securities
from the market makers.
Market risk
The Fund is an index tracking fund. It aims to match the performance of the Index. Market risk exists where the
significant changes in government bond prices will affect the value of the Fund's financial instruments. The
investment mandates indicates that the Fund is passively managed and as a result the management of market risk
is not possible. The value of Fund securities and distributions payable by the Fund will rise and fall as the capital
values of the underlying securities housed in the Fund's portfolio and the income flowing there from fluctuates.
Prospective investors should be prepared for the possibility that they may sustain a loss.
Sensitivity analysis
All the Fund's underlying investments are listed on the Bond Exchange of South Africa ("BESA"), now administered
and owned by the JSE Limited. The price of the Fund securities is closely correlated to the movements in the
underlying Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index. Any movement or adjustment in the Index, or the underlying
constituents of the Index, will have an impact on the price of the securities. At any point in time, the NAV of the
Fund securities is expected to approximate 1/10th of the Index level, plus an amount which reflects a pro-rata
portion of any accrued distribution amount within the portfolio, net of accrued expenses. Therefore, a 10 point
movement in the Index would result in a R1.00 movement in the NAV per unit of the Fund. Actual market values
may be affected by supply and demand and other market factors, but the ability of an investor to switch out of the
Fund securities by redeeming them in specie for one or more baskets of constituent securities, subject to a
minimum of 200 000 participatory interests being delivered, should operate to substantially avoid or minimise any
differential which may otherwise arise between the relevant basket and/or Index level and the value at which the
Fund securities trade from time to time.
