Where Reinet invests in funds managed by third parties its philosophy is to partner with the managers of such funds and to share in fees generated by funds under management. This is the case with funds managed by Trilantic, 36 South, Milestone, Prescient, Renshaw Bay and Vanterra.  Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Reinet pays no management fee to Reinet Investment Advisors Limited on such investments except in the case where no fee or a reduced fee below one per cent is paid to the third party manager. In such cases, the aggregate fee payable to RIAL and the third party manager is capped at one per cent.

The current valuation is based on independent valuations of underlying assets as at 31 December 2012 adjusted for known changes in values of underlying assets since that date. The decrease in value in the period reflects adjustments to the underlying asset values together with the weakening of the US dollar against the euro during the period.

JAGERSFONTEIN AND OTHER DIAMOND EXPLORATION INTERESTS

The current valuations are based on discounted cash flow analyses. The decrease in value, after taking into account the additional funding in the period, is due to the weakening of the South African rand and an increase in discount rates.

CASH AND LIQUID FUNDS
 
Reinet holds cash on deposit principally in European banks and in a sterling liquidity fund holding highly rated short-term commercial paper. Interest rates remain exceptionally low in respect of both euro and sterling deposits, the currencies in which the bulk of funds are held.
 
 
BANK BORROWINGS AND RELATED DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
 
Borrowings
 
In February 2012, Reinet entered into a GBP 300 million medium-term financing facility. At 30 June 2013, the fair value of the borrowing was EUR 347 million (31 March 2013: EUR 356 million).  The transaction incorporates the purchase by Reinet of put options and the sale by Reinet of call options over 13.7 million BAT shares. The unpaid net option premium is payable over the period to 2017 and is carried as a liability at its fair value of EUR 39 million as at 30 June 2013 (31 March 2013: EUR 42 million). The decrease in fair values reflects an increase in market interest rates in the period under review.
 
Reinet has also borrowed ZAR 443 million to fund its investments in South African projects. At 30 June 2013, the fair value of the borrowing was EUR 34 million (31 March 2013: EUR 37 million). The decrease in the fair value reflects the weakening in the South African rand in the period under review.
 
Derivative assets / (liabilities)  put and call options and forward exchange contracts
 
As part of the GBP 300 million financing facility, Reinet has purchased put options which provide protection should the value of the BAT shares used to secure the borrowings fall below a certain amount. Reinet has also sold call options over an equal number of BAT shares. Both the put options and the call options are carried at their respective fair values at the balance sheet date. The net derivative liability is carried at its fair value of EUR 7 million at 30 June 2013 (31 March 2013: net liability value of EUR 15 million). The decrease in the value of the derivative liability is mostly due to the decrease in the market value of BAT shares, offset by the effect of increased interest rates during the period under review.
 
Reinet has also entered into forward exchange contracts to sell 600 million South African rand. The net asset in respect of the forward contracts is carried at its fair value of EUR 7 million at 30 June 2013 (31 March 2013: EUR 4 million). The change in value reflects the weakening of the South African rand over the period since 31 March 2013.
 
 
OTHER LIABILITIES
 
Fees payable and other liabilities, net of other assets
 
Fees payable and other liabilities comprise principally EUR 7 million (31 March 2013: EUR 15 million) in respect of the management fee payable, a net provision for deferred taxes of EUR 13 million (31 March 2013: EUR 10 million) relating to gains arising from the investments in Trilantic Capital Partners, withholding taxes relating to the investment in US land and mortgages and other provisions, together with other operating expenses currently payable of EUR 4 million (31 March 2013: EUR 3 million).
 
A performance fee of EUR 32 million was paid during the period in respect of the year ended 31 March 2013. No performance fee was recorded for the period under review due to a fall in the market price of Reinet shares between March 2013 and 30 June 2013. The reference market price per share used at 31 March 2013 was EUR 15.1931, only if the price per share rises above this level will a performance fee become payable.
 
The management fee for the period under review amounted to EUR 9 million (31 March 2013: EUR 33 million).
 
The performance fee and management fee are payable to Reinet Investment Advisors Limited.

As capital calls are received, minority partners fund their share by advancing funds to Reinet; as distributions are received from investees, Reinet refunds their pro-rata share to the minority partners. The net amounts received of EUR 21 million (31 March 2013: EUR 21 million) are shown as Funding by minority partners in the table above.
