Scotia Private Income Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to preserve investment capital while seeking to achieve increased income by investing

primarily in a portfolio of Canadian government and corporate bonds, preferred shares of Canadian corporations and loans ofsupranational organizations. The Fund’s investments may also include mortgage-backed securities, mortgage bonds, mortgages,term loans, short-term instruments and cash equivalents. Duration may vary by no more than one year from the duration of theDEX Universe Bond Index.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $290,205,849 $298,684,650

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 287,911 387,480

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $290,493,760 $299,072,130

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2014

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $(3,128,347)

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL (103,994)

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $(3,232,341)

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Interest rate risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk by the remaining term to maturity of the Fund’s portfolio ofbond and debenture instruments.

Interest Rate Exposure* June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Less than 1 year 29,538,448 50,122,588 $ 23,155,408

> 10 years 98,044,240 83,332,038 127,655,932

Total 312,514,393 $287,498,060 $294,362,472

* Earlier of maturity or interest reset date. Excludes cash, money market instruments, underlying and preferred shares as applicable.

As at June 30, 2014, had the prevailing interest rates increased or decreased by 0.25%, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve andall other variables held constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, by $4,467,680 or approximately 1.4% oftotal Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (December 31, 2013 – $3,625,459 or approximately 1.2% Net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units, January 1, 2013 – $5,976,351 or approximately 2.0% of total Net assets attributable toholders of redeemable units). In practice, actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

Scotia Private High Yield Income Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns and to provide income as well as capital growth by investing

primarily in high yield, lower rated Canadian corporate bonds, preferred shares and short-term money market securities. TheFund’s investments will have an average duration of 7 years and an average credit rating of single B. The fund’s investmentsmay also include up to 30% high yield, lower rated bonds of U.S. corporations.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

(i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $757,939,976 $570,817,551

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 1,740,645 1,557,934

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $759,680,621 $572,375,485

(ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $16,894,846

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 310,391

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $17,205,237

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

ii) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 5.9% (December 31, 2013 – 15.0%, January 1, 2013 – 5.8%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $5,081,852 (December 31, 2013 – $11,393,995, January 1, 2013 – $3,273,996). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns and to provide income as well as capital growth by investing

primarily in a portfolio of U.S. government and corporate bonds and mortgage pass through securities. The Fund may invest inthe U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets, non-investment grade debt and non-U.S. investment grade sovereign andcorporate debt. As well, the Fund’s investments may also include short-term instruments, cash equivalents, U.S. denominatedasset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund’s investments in bonds will have an average credit rating ofat least single A.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

(i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $415,211,502 $272,767,768

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 465,704 306,055

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $415,677,206 $273,073,823

(ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $(6,897,851)

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 51,991

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $(6,845,860)

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Interest rate risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk by the remaining term to maturity of the Fund’s portfolio ofbond and debenture instruments.

Interest Rate Exposure* June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Less than 1 year $ 9,237,217 $ 8,223,498 $ 14,447,286

Total $594,383,347 $420,421,455 $280,896,529

* Earlier of maturity or interest reset date. Excludes cash, money market instruments, underlying funds and preferred shares as applicable.

As at June 30, 2014, had the prevailing interest rates increased or decreased by 0.25%, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve andall other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units would have decreased or increased,respectively, by $9,362,471 or approximately 1.7% of total Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (December 31,2013 – $6,728,192 or approximately 1.6% net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units, January 1, 2013 – $4,266,507 orapproximately 1.6% of total net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units). In practice, actual results may differ from thissensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

Scotia Private Strategic Balanced Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through a combination of capital growth and income by

investing primarily in large capitalization stocks of Canadian corporations and Canadian government bonds. The weighting ofthe Fund’s portfolio will be allocated between asset classes within specified ranges: 40%-80% equities, 20%-60% fixed incomesecurities, and 0%-30% short-term money market securities and cash.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $33,627,978 $33,017,485

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 18,985 26,232

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $33,646,963 $33,043,717

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $743,629

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 5,978

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $749,607

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Interest rate risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk by the remaining term to maturity of the Fund’s portfolio ofbond and debenture instruments.

* Earlier of maturity or interest reset date. Excludes cash, money market instruments, underlying funds, and preferred shares as applicable.

As at June 30, 2014, had the prevailing interest rates increased or decreased by 0.25%, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve andall other variables held constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, by $194,491 or approximately 0.5% oftotal Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (December 31, 2013 – $161,279 or approximately 0.5% Net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units, January 1, 2013 – $196,266 or approximately 0.6% of total Net assets attributable toholders of redeemable units). In practice, actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Currency risk

iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 60.8% (December 31, 2013 – 59.9%, January 1, 2013 – 55.0%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,

Scotia Private Canadian Value Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in securities of

Canadian corporations. The Fund’s investments may also include up to 15% cash and cash equivalents.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $114,197,160 $95,559,780

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 70,770 178,471

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $114,267,930 $95,738,251

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $(1,628,398)

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL (46,156)

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $(1,674,554)

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 98.2% (December 31, 2013 – 98.1%, January 1, 2013 – 99.2%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $12,667,984 (December 31, 2013 – $11,203,062, January 1, 2013 – $9,479,994). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

$129,007,596 $62,333 $114,267,930 $119,519 $95,738,251 $21,638

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

Scotia Private Canadian Mid Cap Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in stocks of small

and medium capitalization Canadian corporations.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $52,508,794 $40,617,700

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 227,707 142,059

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $52,736,501 $40,759,759

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $4,195,894

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 88,663

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $4,284,557

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)

i) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 99.4% (December 31, 2013 – 98.9%, January 1, 2013 – 99.2%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $5,720,665 (December 31, 2013 – $5,194,238, January 1, 2013 – $4,030,467). In practice, actual resultswill differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

On demandLess than3 months On demand

Less than3 months On demand

Less than3 months

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ – $807,630 $ – $360,765 $ – $4,897

Redeemable units 57,539,081 – 52,736,501 – 40,759,759 –

$57,539,081 $807,630 $52,736,501 $360,765 $40,759,759 $4,897

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

Page 61: Scotia Private Pools Pinnacle Portfolios Semi-AnnualReport...Scotia Private Short Term Income Pool (Unaudited) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As at June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013

Scotia Private Canadian Growth Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in stocks of large

and medium capitalization Canadian corporations. The Fund’s investments may also include up to 15% cash and cashequivalents.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)

The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $258,368,472 $170,444,125

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 353,327 352,057

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $258,721,799 $170,796,182

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $7,760,768

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 128,794

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $7,889,562

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

CurrencyNet CurrencyExposure ($)

Percentage ofNet Assets (%)

Impact if Canadiandollar had

strengthened orweakened by 10%

Percentage ofNet Assets (%)

US Dollar 44,655 0.0 4,466 0.0

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 97.8% (December 31, 2013 – 97.7%, January 1, 2013 – 97.9%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $29,794,098 (December 31, 2013 – $25,238,002, January 1, 2013 – $16,673,224). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.C

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

iii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

On demandLess than3 months On demand

Less than3 months

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ – $3,692,271 $ – $120,208 $ – $24,230

$304,810,982 $3,692,271 $258,721,799 $120,208 $170,796,182 $24,230

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

iv) Concentration risk

Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category, whether it is geographical location,asset type, industry sector or counterparty type. The table below is a summary of the Fund’s concentration risk.

Page 66: Scotia Private Pools Pinnacle Portfolios Semi-AnnualReport...Scotia Private Short Term Income Pool (Unaudited) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As at June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013

Scotia Private Canadian Small Cap Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in stocks of small

and medium capitalization Canadian corporations. The Fund’s investments may also include up to 15% cash and cashequivalents.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $394,611,741 $231,165,531

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 1,412,016 1,372,116

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $396,023,757 $232,537,647

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $34,540,695

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 323,193

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $34,863,888

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 96.6% (December 31, 2013 – 96.8%, January 1, 2013 – 97.5%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $46,766,673 (December 31, 2013 – $38,191,431, January 1, 2013 – $22,524,320). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

On demandLess than3 months On demand

Less than3 months On demand

Less than3 months

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ – $596,501 $ – $283,993 $ – $2,432,615

Redeemable units 484,315,547 – 396,023,757 – 232,537,647 –

$484,315,547 $596,501 $396,023,757 $283,993 $232,537,647 $2,432,615

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

Page 71: Scotia Private Pools Pinnacle Portfolios Semi-AnnualReport...Scotia Private Short Term Income Pool (Unaudited) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As at June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013

Scotia Private U.S. Value Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)

i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in stocks of largecapitalization U.S. corporations. The Fund’s investments may also include up to 15% cash and cash equivalents and some largecapitalization non-U.S. securities.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $438,297,118 $260,106,686

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 43,778 43,082

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $438,340,896 $260,149,768

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $45,760,428

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 49,268

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $45,809,696

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 96.8% (December 31, 2013 – 96.1%, January 1, 2013 – 95.2%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $24,131,598 (December 31, 2013 – $42,112,587, January 1, 2013 – $24,760,486). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

On demandLess than3 months On demand

Less than3 months On demand

$249,385,949 $82,055 $438,340,896 $50,207 $260,149,768 $9,384

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

iv) Concentration risk

Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category, whether it is geographical location,asset type, industry sector or counterparty type. The table below is a summary of the Fund’s concentration risk.

and medium capitalization companies located in the U.S. The Fund’s investments may also include up to 15% cash and cashequivalents and some non-U.S. securities.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $25,914,864 $18,493,333

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 3,211 4,898

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $25,918,075 $18,498,231

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $3,636,034

evaluation of Investments at FVTPL 12,014

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $3,648,048

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 93.5% (December 31, 2013 – 96.3%, January 1, 2013 – 96.3%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $2,428,101 (December 31, 2013 – $2,496,385, January 1, 2013 – $1,780,748). In practice, actual resultswill differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

On demandLess than3 months On demand

Less than3 months On demand

Less than3 months

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ – $15,798 $ – $456,518 $ – $104,267

$25,966,898 $15,798 $25,918,075 $456,518 $18,498,231 $104,267

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

vi) Concentration risk

Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category, whether it is geographical location,asset type, industry sector or counterparty type. The table below is a summary of the Fund’s concentration risk.

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $106,966,217 $61,802,973

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 19,379 24,061

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $106,985,596 $61,827,034

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $11,650,765

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 20,520

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $11,671,285

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 96.1% (December 31, 2013 – 97.6%, January 1, 2013 – 94.5%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $13,606,154 (December 31, 2013 – $10,442,190, January 1, 2013 – $5,842,356). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 96.6% (December 31, 2013 – 98.0%, January 1, 2013 – 99.5%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $5,491,918 (December 31, 2013 – $5,321,007, January 1, 2013 – $3,793,424).

Scotia Private International Equity Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in large

capitalization stocks of companies in Europe, Australia and the Far East. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in cashand cash equivalents and up to 10% of its assets in securities of issuers in emerging markets.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $772,540,030 $448,292,324

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 21,707 121,442

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $772,561,737 $448,413,766

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $35,359,969

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 11,770

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $35,371,739

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 94.5% (December 31, 2013 – 94.2%, January 1, 2013 – 94.5%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $48,042,727 (December 31, 2013 – $72,737,364, January 1, 2013 – $42,363,490). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

Scotia Private International Small to Mid Cap Value Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long term returns through capital growth by investing in stocks of small and

medium capitalization corporations in Europe, Australia and the Far East.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $33,688,501 $27,524,344

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 10,119 6,793

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $33,698,620 $27,531,137

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $3,921,923

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 15,716

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $3,937,639

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 98.9% (December 31, 2013 – 98.6%, January 1, 2013 – 99.3%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $3,493,941 (December 31, 2013 – $3,321,531, January 1, 2013 – $2,734,143). In practice, actual resultswill differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iii) Liquidity risk

Scotia Private Emerging Markets Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in equity and

equity-related securities of companies located in emerging markets and emerging industries of any market.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $217,163,220 $133,086,908

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 539,044 16,596

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $217,702,264 $133,103,504

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $(10,972,181)

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 432,112

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $(10,540,069)

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 96.2% (December 31, 2013 – 94.3%, January 1, 2013 – 95.9%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $14,635,680 (December 31, 2013 – $20,468,804, January 1, 2013 – $12,766,662). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

Scotia Private Global Equity Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through capital growth by investing primarily in large

capitalization stocks of companies in North America, Europe, Australia and the Far East. The Fund may invest up to 10% of itsassets in securities of issuers in emerging markets and up to 15% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $518,574,046 $337,676,061

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 92,182 41,200

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $518,666,228 $337,717,261

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $36,998,093

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 55,131

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $37,053,224

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 97.6% (December 31, 2013 – 96.5%, January 1, 2013 – 97.8%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $36,932,664 (December 31, 2013 – $50,026,197, January 1, 2013 – $33,015,913). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iii) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

Redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the holder’s option. However, the Manager does not expect that the contractualmaturity disclosed in the table above will be representative of the actual cash outflows, as holders of these instruments typicallyretain them for a longer term.

iv) Concentration risk

Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category, whether it is geographical location,asset type, industry sector or counterparty type. The table below is a summary of the Fund’s concentration risk.

Scotia Private Global Real Estate Pool (Unaudited – Continued)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through income and capital growth, by investing primarily in

U.S., Canadian and non-North American real estate stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund’s investmentsmay consist of up to 40% Canadian securities, up to 100% REITs, up to 100% foreign content, and up to 15% cash and cashequivalents.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $314,302,660 $223,175,829

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL 37,811 63,021

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $314,340,471 $223,238,850

ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $15,352,514

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL (16,199)

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $15,336,315

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

There were no material adjustments to net assets as of June 30, 2013 and comprehensive income for the period from January 1 toDecember 31, 2013, and therefore a reconciliation has not been provided.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Currency risk

The table below indicates the currency to which the Fund had significant exposure, net of the impact of foreign currency forwardcontracts and foreign currency spot contracts, if any, based on the monetary and non-monetary assets of the Fund. The table alsoillustrates the potential impact on the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units if the Canadian dollar had strengthenedor weakened by 10% in relation to each of the other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

ii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 96.7% (December 31, 2013 – 98.0%, January 1, 2013 – 97.6%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $22,499,739 (December 31, 2013 – $30,809,188, January 1, 2013 – $21,788,960). In practice, actualresults will differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to generate current income and long-term capital growth, with a bias towards income. The

Fund is an asset allocation fund that allocates your investment between four asset classes: bonds, Canadian equities, foreignequities and equities of real estate companies. The majority of the Fund will be invested in bonds with the balance invested inequities which will include Canadian and foreign equities and may include equities of real estate companies and real estateinvestment trusts.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)There were no significant adjustments between IFRS and Canadian GAAP impacting the Fund.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Interest rate risk

As at June 30, 2014, had the prevailing interest rates increased or decreased by 0.25%, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve andall other variables held constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, by $118,323 or approximately 0.9% oftotal Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (December 31, 2013 – $112,534 or approximately 0.8% Net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units, January 1, 2013 – $170,594 or approximately 1.2%of total Net assets attributable toholders of redeemable units). In practice, actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Currency risk

The Fund could be exposed to indirect currency risk to the extent that the underlying funds held financial instruments that weredenominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 29.9% (December 31, 2013 – 29.9%, January 1, 2013 – 30.5%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $391,246 (December 31, 2013 – $403,863, January 1, 2013 – $444,467). In practice, actual results willdiffer from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iv) Credit risk

The Fund could be exposed to indirect credit risk to the extent that the underlying funds invested in debt instruments andderivatives.

v) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

Pinnacle Balanced Portfolio (Unaudited – Continued)(formerly, Pinnacle Conservative Balanced Growth Portfolio)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a balance of long-term capital growth and current income. The Fund is an asset

allocation fund that allocates your investment between four asset classes: bonds, equities of real estate companies, Canadianequities and foreign equities. The majority of the Fund will be invested in equities which will include Canadian and foreignequities and equities of real estate companies and real estate investment trusts. The equities allocation will have a slight focuson Canadian equities. In addition, a significant allocation of the Fund will be invested in bonds.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)There were no significant adjustments between IFRS and Canadian GAAP impacting the Fund.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Interest rate risk

As at June 30, 2014, had the prevailing interest rates increased or decreased by 0.25%, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve andall other variables held constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, by $416,057 or approximately 0.5% oftotal Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (December 31, 2013 – $337,885 or approximately 0.4% Net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units, January 1, 2013 – $426,104 or approximately 0.7% of total Net assets attributable toholders of redeemable units). In practice, actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Currency risk

The Fund could be exposed to indirect currency risk to the extent that the underlying funds held financial instruments that weredenominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 60.2% (December 31, 2013 – 61.4%, January 1, 2013 – 60.2%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $4,963,976 (December 31, 2013 – $4,713,256, January 1, 2013 – $3,720,838). In practice, actual resultswill differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

iv) Credit risk

The Fund could be exposed to indirect credit risk to the extent that the underlying funds invested in debt instruments andderivatives.

v) Liquidity risk

The table below summarizes the Fund’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.

June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Pinnacle Growth Portfolio (Unaudited – Continued)(formerly, Pinnacle Conservative Growth Portfolio)

FUND SPECIFIC NOTESFor the periods indicated in Note 1.

1. The Fund (note 1)i) The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital growth and provide some current income. The Fund is an asset

allocation fund that allocates your investment between four asset classes: bonds, equities of real estate companies, Canadianequities and foreign equities. The Fund will be principally invested in equities which will include a significant position inCanadian equities and smaller positions in foreign equities and equities of real estate companies and real estate investmenttrusts. Approximately 20% of the Fund will be invested in bonds.

2. Transition to IFRS (note 13)The following reconciliations between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as required by IFRS1 and the related explanation of any significantadjustments are as follows:

(i) Reconciliations of net assets as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Equity December 31, 2013 January 1, 2013

Net assets as reported under Canadian GAAP $12,128,356 $7,690,049

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL – –

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $12,128,356 $7,690,049

(ii) Reconciliations of comprehensive income as previously reported under Canadian GAAP

Comprehensive Income June 30, 2013

Comprehensive income as reported under Canadian GAAP $269,310

Revaluation of Investments at FVTPL –

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units $269,310

The difference in the amounts reported under Canadian GAAP and the amounts reported under IFRS is mainly due to the revaluationof investments at FVTPL upon transition to IFRS.

3. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments (note 4)i) Interest rate risk

As at June 30, 2014, had the prevailing interest rates increased or decreased by 0.25%, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve andall other variables held constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, by $30,398 or approximately 0.2% oftotal Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (December 31, 2013 – $26,190 or approximately 0.2% Net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units, January 1, 2013 – $25,333 or approximately 0.3% of total Net assets attributable toholders of redeemable units). In practice, actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

ii) Currency risk

The Fund could be exposed to indirect currency risk to the extent that the underlying funds held financial instruments that weredenominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (otherthan those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issuer or all factors affecting amarket or a market segment. Exposure to other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities, if applicable. As at June 30, 2014,approximately 80.4% (December 31, 2013 – 79.1%, January 1, 2013 – 79.3%) of the Fund’s net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units were exposed to other price risk. If prices of these investments had decreased or increased by 10%, with all othervariables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $1,023,838 (December 31, 2013 – $ 959,578, January 1, 2013 – $ 609,564).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesThese financial statements have been prepared in compliancewith International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements,including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and IFRS 1,First-time Adoption of International Financial ReportingStandards. The Funds adopted this basis of accounting in 2014as required by Canadian securities legislation and theCanadian Accounting Standards Board. Previously, the Fundsprepared their financial statements in accordance withCanadian generally accepted accounting principles as definedin Part V of the CPA Handbook (Canadian GAAP). The Fundshave consistently applied the accounting policies used in thepreparation of their opening IFRS statements of financialposition at January 1, 2013 and throughout all periodspresented, as if these policies had always been in effect. The“Fund Specific Notes” include disclosures of the impact of thetransition to IFRS on the Fund’s reported financial position,financial performance, including the nature and effect ofsignificant changes in accounting policies from those used inthe Funds’ financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2013 prepared under Canadian GAAP.

The policies applied in these interim financial statements arebased on IFRS issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Any

140

subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Fund’sannual financial statements for the year ending December 31,2014 could result in restatement of these interim financialstatements, including the transition adjustments recognized ontransition to IFRS.

(a) Financial instrument disclosures

Financial instrument disclosures include a three level fairvalue hierarchy which provides information about the relativeobservability of inputs to the fair value measurement offinancial assets and liabilities. The levels are defined asfollows:

• Level 1: Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: Fair value is based on inputs other than unadjustedquoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for theassets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3: Fair value is based on at least one significant non-observable input that is not supported by market data forthe financial assets or liabilities.

The three level fair value hierarchy, transfers between levelsand a reconciliation of level 3 financial instruments aredisclosed in the respective Fund’s “Fund Specific Notes”.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of thefair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or changein circumstances giving rise to the transfer.

(b) Financial instruments

The Funds recognize financial instruments at fair value uponinitial recognition, plus transaction costs in the case offinancial instruments not measured at fair value through profitor loss (FVTPL). Purchases and sales of financial assets arerecognized at their trade date. The Funds’ investments andderivative assets and liabilities are measured at FVTPL.

The Funds’ obligation for net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units is presented at the redemption amount. Allother financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortizedcost. These balances are short-term in nature and, therefore,their carrying values approximate fair value.

(c) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset orpaid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date. The fair value offinancial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (suchas publicly traded derivatives and marketable securities) arebased on quoted market prices at the close of trading on thereporting date. The Funds use the last traded market price forboth financial assets and financial liabilities where the lasttraded price falls within that day’s bid-ask spread. Incircumstances where the last traded price is not within thebid-ask spread, the Manager determines the point within thebid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value basedon the specific facts and circumstances. The Funds’ accountingpolicies for measuring the fair value of its investments andderivatives are identical to those used in measuring its netasset value (NAV) for transactions with unitholders, except

where the last traded market price for financial assets andliabilities are not within the bid-ask spread.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are nottraded in an active market, including over the-counterderivatives, is determined using valuation techniques. TheFunds uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions thatare based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.Valuation techniques include the use of comparable recentarm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments thatare substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis,option pricing models and others commonly used by marketparticipants and which make the maximum use of observableinputs.

The Manager is responsible for performing the fair valuemeasurements included in the financial statements of theFunds, including level 3 measurements. The Manager obtainspricing from a third party pricing vendor, which is monitoredand reviewed by the valuation team daily. At each financialreporting date, the Manager reviews and approves all level 3fair value measurements. The Funds also have a ValuationCommittee which includes the Chief Financial Officer andmembers of the finance team, as well as members of theportfolio management and compliance teams. The committeemeets quarterly to perform detailed reviews of the valuations ofinvestments held by the Fund.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities as at thefinancial reporting period end dates are determined as follows:

(i) North American equities are valued at the closingmarket price recorded by the security exchange onwhich the security is principally traded. Non-NorthAmerican equities are valued at fair value provided byan independent pricing source.

(ii) Fixed income securities, including bonds andmortgage-backed securities, are valued using modelswith inputs including interest rate curves, creditspreads and volatilities.

(iii) Short-term debt instruments are carried at FVTPL,which approximates cost plus accrued interest.

(iv) Investments in underlying funds are valued based onthe Net Asset Value per unit provided by the underlyingfund’s manager at the end of each valuation date.

(v) Open forward currency contracts are valued at the gainor loss that would arise as a result of closing theposition on the valuation date. The unrealized gain orloss, for the period is reflected in the Statements ofComprehensive Income as “Change in unrealizedappreciation (depreciation) of currency forwards”.Realized gains or losses on forward currency contractswould arise as a result of the closing of a position onthe settlement date. The net realized gain or loss isreported as “Net realized gain (loss) on currencyforwards” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(vi) Unlisted warrants are valued using the Black-Scholesoption valuation model. The model factors in the timevalue of money and the volatility inputs significant tosuch valuation.

141

Page 143: Scotia Private Pools Pinnacle Portfolios Semi-AnnualReport...Scotia Private Short Term Income Pool (Unaudited) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As at June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013

(vii) Futures contracts are valued at their close prices forfinancial reporting purposes at the close of business oneach valuation date of the reporting period. Anydifference between the settlement value at the close ofbusiness on the current valuation date and that of theprevious valuation date is settled into cash daily andrecorded in the Statements of Comprehensive Incomeas “Net realized gain (loss) on future contracts” or“Index futures contract income”. Amounts receivable(payable) on settlement of futures contracts arereflected in the Statements of Financial Position as“Receivable for (Payable for) futures contracts”.

(viii) Options are valued at their close price as reported bythe principal exchange or over-the-counter market onwhich the contract is traded. Any difference resultingfrom revaluation at the reporting date is treated asunrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments.

Premiums paid for purchased call and put options areincluded in options purchased in the Statements ofFinancial Position. When a purchased option expires,the Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the cost ofthe option. For the closing transaction of the purchasedput options, the Fund will realize a gain or lossdepending on whether the proceeds are greater or lessthan the premium paid at the time of purchase. When apurchased call option is exercised, the cost of securitypurchased is increased by the premium paid at thetime of purchase.

Premiums received from writing options are included asa liability for written options in the Statements ofFinancial Position. When a written option expiresunexercised, premiums received from writing optionsare recorded as income on the Statements ofComprehensive Income. When a written call option isexercised, the Fund will record a realized loss if the costof closing the transaction exceeds the premium received;the Fund will record a realized gain if the premiumreceived is greater than the amount paid for closing thetransaction. When a written put is exercised, the cost ofthe security purchased is reduced by the premiumsreceived at the time the option was written.

(ix) Gold bullion is carried at FVTPL and based on the pricequote provided by an independent pricing source.

(d) Investment transactions and income recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade datebasis. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisitionor disposal of an investment are expensed and are included in“Transaction costs” in the Statements of ComprehensiveIncome. The investment cost of a security represents theamount paid and is determined on an average cost basisexcluding transaction costs.

Dividend income and distributions from underlying funds arerecognized on the ex-dividend date.

Interest for distribution purposes is recognized on an accrualbasis based on the coupon rate. The Fund does not amortizepremiums paid or discounts received on the purchase of fixedincome securities except for zero coupon bonds which areamortized on a straight line basis.

Distributions received from income trusts are recognized based onthe nature of the underlying components such as dividend income,interest income, capital gains, and return of capital by applyingprevious year characterizations reported by the trust as currentyear characterizations are not available until the following year.

Realized gain or loss on the sale of short-term debt instrumentsare recorded as an adjustment to interest income fordistribution purposes.

Income, realized gain (loss) and unrealized gain (loss) areallocated among the Series on a pro rata basis.

(e) Functional currency and foreign exchange translation

The reporting currency for the Funds is the Canadian dollar,which is the functional currency and the currency in whichsubscriptions and redemptions of units are primarilydenominated. Any currency other than functional currencyrepresents foreign currency to the Funds.

Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are converted intothe functional currency as follows:

(i) fair value of investments, forward and spot currencycontracts and other assets and liabilities at the rates ofexchange prevailing as at the valuation date; and

(ii) purchase and sale of investments and investmentincome at the rates of exchange prevailing on therespective dates of such transactions.

Foreign exchange gain (loss) on purchases and sales of foreigncurrencies are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on foreignexchange” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(f) Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units per unit

“Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units per unit” is disclosed in the Statements ofComprehensive Income and represents, for each Series of units,the increase or decrease in net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units from operations for the period attributable toeach Series divided by the weighted average number of unitsoutstanding for the corresponding Series during the period.

(g) Cash

Cash is comprised of cash on deposit and is stated at fair value.

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimatesand assumptionsThe preparation of financial statements requires management touse judgment in applying its accounting policies and to makeestimates and assumptions about the future. These estimates aremade based on information available as at the date of issuance ofthe financial statements. Actual results could materially differfrom those estimates. The following discusses the mostsignificant accounting judgments and estimates that the Fundhas made in preparing the financial statements:

Fair value measurement of derivatives and securities not quoted in anactive marketKey areas of estimation, where the Manager has made complexor subjective judgments, include the determination of fair

142

Page 144: Scotia Private Pools Pinnacle Portfolios Semi-AnnualReport...Scotia Private Short Term Income Pool (Unaudited) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As at June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013

values of financial instruments and derivatives that are notquoted in an active market. The use of valuation techniques forfinancial instruments and derivatives that are not quoted in anactive market requires the Manager to make assumptions thatare based on market conditions existing as at the date of thefinancial statements. Changes in these assumptions as a resultof changes in market conditions could affect the reported fairvalue of financial instruments and derivatives.

Classification and measurement of investments and application of thefair value optionIn classifying and measuring financial instruments held by theFund, the Manager is required to make significant judgmentsabout whether or not the business of the Funds is to invest on atotal return basis for the purpose of applying the fair valueoption for financial assets under IAS 39, “FinancialInstruments: recognition and measurement”. The mostsignificant judgments made include the determination thatcertain financial instruments are held-for-trading and that thefair value option can be applied to those which are not.

The Funds have designated their investments in equity, debtsecurities at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives arecategorized as held for trading and transfers measured atFVTPL.

4. Discussion of Financial Instrument RiskEach Fund’s investment activities expose it to a variety offinancial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk,currency risk, and other price risk), credit risk and liquidityrisk. Each Fund’s investment practices include portfoliomonitoring to ensure compliance with stated investmentguidelines. The Manager seeks to minimize potential adverseeffects of risks on each Fund’s performance by employing andoverseeing professional and experienced portfolio advisors thatregularly monitor each Fund’s securities and financial marketdevelopments. The risks are measured using a method thatreflects the expected impact on the results and Net Assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units of the Funds fromreasonably possible changes in the relevant risk variables.

The Manager maintains a risk management practice that includesmonitoring compliance with investment restrictions to ensure thatthe Funds are being managed in accordance with the Funds’stated investment objectives, strategies and securities regulations.

Some Funds invest in underlying funds. These Funds areindirectly exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity riskin the event that the underlying funds invest in financialinstruments that are subject to those risks.

A Fund’s exposure to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk,where applicable, is disclosed in the respective Fund’s “FundSpecific Notes”. Where the exposure to a particular risk is notdisclosed, the Manager has assessed the potential impact ofthat risk to be not significant.

(a) Market riski) Interest rate riskInterest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes ininterest rates will affect the future cash flows or the fair valuesof interest-bearing financial instruments. Each Fund’sexposure to interest rate risk is concentrated in its

investments in debt securities (such as bonds and debentures)and interest rate derivative instruments, if any. Short-terminvestments and other assets and liabilities are short-term innature and/or non-interest bearing and are not subject to asignificant amount of interest rate risk due to fluctuations inthe prevailing levels of market interest rates.

ii) Currency riskThe Funds may invest in monetary assets denominated incurrencies other than its functional currency. Currency risk isthe risk that the value of foreign investments will fluctuate dueto changes in the foreign exchange rates of those currencies inrelation to the Fund’s functional currency. Other financialassets (including dividends and interest receivable andreceivable for investments sold) and financial liabilities thatare denominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fundto significant currency risk.

Funds may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts orcurrency futures contracts for hedging purposes to reducetheir foreign currency risk exposure.

iii) Other price riskOther price risk is the risk that the fair value of a Fund’sfinancial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes inmarket prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk orcurrency risk) caused by factors specific to a security, its issueror all factors affecting a market or a market segment. Exposureto other price risk is mainly in equities and commodities. Themaximum risk resulting from these financial instruments isequivalent to their fair value, except for written options andfuture contracts sold, where possible losses can be unlimited.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financialinstrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment thatit has entered into with the Fund. Where the Fund invests in debtinstruments, this represents the main concentration of credit risk.The fair value of debt instruments includes consideration of thecreditworthiness of the issuer, and accordingly, represents themaximum credit risk exposure to the Fund. Credit risk may alsoexist in relation to counterparties to futures, swaps and forwardcurrency contracts. The risk of default is considered minimal, asdelivery of securities sold is only made once the broker hasreceived payment. Payment is only made on a purchase once thesecurities have been received by the broker.

The credit ratings reported for counterparties to debtinstruments are Standard & Poor’s credit rating or Standard &Poor’s equivalent for credit ratings from other approved ratingagencies. In addition, custody and derivative transactions arecarried out by counterparties that have a Standard & Poor’scredit rating of A or higher.

A Fund may enter into securities lending transactions withcounterparties whereby the Fund temporarily exchangessecurities for collateral with a commitment by the counterpartyto deliver the same securities on a future date. Credit riskassociated with these transactions is considered minimal as allcounterparties have approved credit rating and the marketvalue of cash or securities held as collateral must be at least104% of the fair value of the securities loaned as at the end ofeach trading day.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from thedaily cash redemption of units. The Fund primarily invests insecurities that are traded in active markets and can be readilydisposed of. In addition, the Fund aims to retain sufficient cashand cash equivalent positions to maintain liquidity. The Fundmay, from time to time, enter into over-the-counter derivativecontracts or invest in securities that are not traded in an activemarket and may be illiquid. Illiquid securities are identified inthe respective Fund’s Schedule of Investment Portfolio.

(d) Concentration risk

Concentrations of risk arise from financial instruments thathave similar characteristics and are affected similarly bychanges in economic or other conditions. The identificationand disclosure of risks concentration is provided in therespective Fund’s “Fund Specific Notes”.

5. Management FeesEach Fund pays the Manager a management fee with respect toeach series of units, other than Series I units, for providinggeneral management services. The management fees cover thecosts of managing the Fund, arranging for investment analysis,recommendations and investment decision making for thefund, arranging for distribution of the Funds, marketing andpromotion of the funds and providing or arranging for otherservices. Management fees for Series I units of a Fund arenegotiated and paid directly by the investor, not by the Fund,and will not exceed 1.25% on Money Market and Bond Fundsand 2.5% on all other Funds. The Funds’ management fees arecalculated daily and payable monthly on the first business dayof the following calendar month.

6. Redeemable UnitsUnits issued and outstanding represent the capital of eachFund. Each of the Funds may issue an unlimited number ofunits. Each unit is redeemable at the option of the unitholderin accordance with the Declaration of Trust, ranks pari passuwith all other units of the Fund and entitles the unitholder to aproportionate undivided interest in the Net Asset Value of theFund. Unitholders are entitled to distributions when declared.Distributions on units of a Fund are reinvested in additionalunits of the Fund or at the option of the unitholder, paid incash. The Funds’ capital is managed in accordance with each ofthe Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions, asoutlined in the Funds’ prospectus. The Funds have no specificrestrictions or specific capital requirements on thesubscriptions or redemptions of units, other than minimumsubscription requirements.

The units of each Series of the Funds are issued and redeemedat their NAV per unit of each Series which is determined as ofthe close of business on each day that the Toronto StockExchange is open for trading. The NAV per unit is calculated bydividing the Net Assets per Series by the total number ofoutstanding units of each Series.

Classification of Redeemable Units Issued by the FundThe Funds’ units do not meet the criteria in IAS 32 forclassification as equity and therefore, have been classified asfinancial liabilities. The Funds’ outstanding units include acontractual obligation to distribute any net income and net

144

Page 146: Scotia Private Pools Pinnacle Portfolios Semi-AnnualReport...Scotia Private Short Term Income Pool (Unaudited) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As at June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013

realized capital gains annually in cash (at the request of theunitholder), therefore the ongoing redemption feature is notthe units’ only contractual obligation. In addition, certainFunds have multiple features across the different series of the

fund. Consequently, the Funds’ outstanding redeemable unitsare classified as financial liabilities in accordance with therequirements of International Accounting Standard 32Financial Instruments: Presentation.”

For the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the following numbers of units were issued, re-invested and redeemed:

13. Transition to IFRSThe effect of each of the Funds’ transition to IFRS issummarized in this note as follows:

Transition electionsThe only voluntary exemption adopted by the Funds upontransition was the ability to designate a financial asset orliability at fair value through profit and loss upon transition toIFRS. All financial assets or liabilities designated at FVTPLupon transition were previously valued at fair value underCanadian GAAP as required by Accounting Guideline 18,Investment Companies.

Statement of cash flowsUnder Canadian GAAP, the Funds were exempt from providinga statement of cash flows. IAS 1 requires that a complete set offinancial statements include a statement of cash flows for thecurrent and comparative periods, without exception.

Reconciliations and explanation of any significant adjustmentsThe following reconciliations between IFRS and CanadianGAAP, as required by IFRS 1 for each Fund are disclosed in therespective Fund’s “Fund Specific Notes”.

• Statement of financial position reconciliation as previouslyreported under Canadian GAAP to IFRS

• Statement of comprehensive income reconciliation aspreviously reported under Canadian GAAP to IFRS

Classification of redeemable units issued by the FundsUnder Canadian GAAP, the Funds accounted for theirredeemable units as equity. Under IFRS, IAS 32 requires thatunits or shares of an entity which include a contractualobligation for the issuer to repurchase or redeem them for cash

or another financial asset be classified as financial liability.The Funds’ units do not meet the criteria in IAS 32 forclassification as equity and therefore, have been reclassified asfinancial liabilities on transition to IFRS.

Revaluation of investments at FVTPLUnder Canadian GAAP, the Funds measured the fair values ofinvestments in accordance with Section 3855, FinancialInstruments – Recognition and Measurement, which requiredthe use of bid prices for long positions and ask prices for shortpositions, to the extent such prices were available. Under IFRS,the funds measure the fair values of its investments using theguidance in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13),which requires that if an asset or a liability has a bid price andan ask price, then its fair value is to be based on a price withinthe bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value. Italso allows the use of mid-market pricing or other pricingconventions that are used by market participants as a practicalexpedient for fair value measurements within a bid-ask spread.As a result, upon adoption of IFRS an adjustment wasrecognized to adjust for the carrying amount of the Funds’investments.
