Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation Thsse financial statements have been rrepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions.

2.2

Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except in the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Trust.

2.3

Standards that are issued but not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group's financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

2.

Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.3

Standards that are issued but not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group (cont'd) IFRS 9 Financial Statements IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the IASB's work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial instruments and hedge accounting. The effective date of the standard has not been determined. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address impairment of financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.

2.4

Revenue recognition The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related costs can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when the specific criteria for each of the Group's activities are met as follows: (a)

Charter income Charter income is calculated on a time apportionment basis in accordance to the terms and conditions of the charter agreement. Charter income is deferred to the extent that conditions necessary for its recognition as revenue have yet to be fulfilled.

(b)

Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

2.5

Group accounting Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to the majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the dates of exchange and includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. Please refer to Note 2.7 for the accounting policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries.

Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.5

Group accounting (cont'd) Subsidiaries (cont'd) Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Please refer to Note 2.8 for the accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries in the financial statements of the Trust.

2.6

Vessels (a)

Measurement Vessels are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Vessel cost consists of the contract purchase price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expensesl. The vessels that are acquired are treated as a business combination to the extent otherwiS? w^ uC^~L~lSItIG'!? ~f a vessel is treated as a purchase of assets and recorded at cost.

that SUGh ?r~iiigitinng !nrliirig hiicinPSg Cha(~ctaricticc~

Where any intangible assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel are identified, they are recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined by reference to market data and the revenue stream associated with the charters. (b)

Depreciation Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is calculated on a straight-line basis, after taking into account the residual value, over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives of the vessels are 20 years. The residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at the end of each financial year. The effects of any revision are recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise. Included in the value of vessels acquired are costs relating to dry-docking. These costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period to the next scheduled dry-docking, which is generally 5 years.

(c)

Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to vessels, including dry-docking, that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditures are recognised as expenses daring the financial year in which they are incurred.

Vessels (cont'd) (d)

Disposal On disposal of vessels, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

2.7

Goodwill on acquisitions Initially, goodwill is measured at cost and represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of identifiable net assets and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries or businesses at the date of acquisition. Subsequently, goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries or businesses is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries or businesses include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity or business sold. Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of subsidiaries or businesses when acquired over the cost of acquisition. Negative goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

2.8

Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Trusts statement of financial position. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss.

2.9

Impairment ofnon-financial assets (a)

Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is indication that the goodwill may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating-units ("CGU") expected to benefit from synergies arising from the business combination. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of a CGU, including the goodwill, exceeds the recoverable amount of the CGU. Recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of the CGU's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised in profit or loss and is not reversed in a subsequent period.

Impairment ofnon-financial assets (cont'd)

(b)

Vessels and investments in subsidiaries Vessels and investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence of indication that these assets may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had there been no impairment loss recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the end of the financial year which are presented as non-current assets. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group assesses at the end of each financial year whether there is objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments are objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired. The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and ine preseni value esiimaiea Tuiure cash riows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in profit or loss. or

2.10

Loans and receivables(cont'd) The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in a subsequent period when the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. The carrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed the amortised cost had no impairment been recognised in prior period.

2.11

Borrowings Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the drawdown occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

2.12

Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.13

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to risks arising from operational activities, specifically the purchase of bunkers in the course of carrying out fixed freight rate transportation contracts. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. A derivative financial instrument is initially recognised at its fair value on the date the contract is entered into and is subsequently carried at its fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The carrying amount of a derivative designated as a hedge is presented as anon-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

Leases As lessor: The Group owns dry bulk vessels and charters them to international customers in the global market of cargo transportation under fixed freight rate charters. These charters are classified as operating leases as the Group retains substantially all risk and rewards incidental to ownership. Rental income from operating leases of the vessels (net of any incentives and commissions given to lessees) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense in profit or loss over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Contingent rents are recognised as income in profit or loss when earned.

Leases(cont'd) As lessee: Leases of vessels where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessors are classified as operating leases. Rental expenses under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.16

Inventories Inventories are bunkers for the vessels. Inventories are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Bunkers are used for the operation of the vessels, therefore inventories are not written down when market price falls below cost if the overall shipping activity is expected to be profitable.

2.17

Taxes (a)

Current income tax

Current income tax for current and prior period is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the financial year. (b)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. A deferred tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured: (i)

at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the financial year; and

(ii)

based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the financial year, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

Taxes(conYd) (b)

Deferred tax (cont'd) Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition. The Group's activities are subject to taxation under different tax schemes in several countries. The Group's main shipping activities are located in France, where the income from shipping operations is taxable in accordance with Article 206 of the French Income Tax Act. In France, the activities are both subject to normal company tax scheme, which implies a corporate tax rate of 33.333%, and the French Tonnage Tax Scheme, which has been applicable since 1 January LUU:i.

Part of the Group's shipping activity is located in Singapore, where the income derived by the Group's entities from respective bareboat charter agreements qualifies for tax exemption under Section 13S of the Singapore Income Tax Act, with effective from 1 January 2013 or other dates for certain subsidiaries as indicated in a letter of approval by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore(MPA) dated 1 August 2013 granting relevant Group's entities the status of the Maritime Sector Incentive — Maritime Leasing ("MSI-ML") (Ship) award, for a period of 5 years, which ends on 31 December 2017, provided that the Group meets the requirements of the MSI-ML(Ship) award. The Group is subject to tax on its income from non-n~~alifyinn arti~lt!?5 a# the prevailing Singapore corporate income tax rate.

2.18

Currency translation (a)

Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates("functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar("USD" or "US$"), which is the Trust's functional currency.

(b)

Transactions and balances Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency("foreign currency") are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates as at the end of the financial year are recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include deposits with financial institutions.

2.20

Units in issue Units in issue are classified as equity. Expenses, which are directly attributable to the issuance of units, are deducted directly from net assets attributable to unitholders. Expenses, which are not directly attributable to the issuance of units, are recognised in profit or loss.

2.21

Distributions to unitholders Distributions to unitholders are recorded in the period in which they are declared payable by the Trustee-Manager in accordance with the Trust deed.

2.22

Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.23

Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an oufiFlow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

2.24

Pensions and post employment benefits The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has employment. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial evaluations. These evaluations are based on hypotheses regarding rate of updating, rate of increase of salaries, mortality rate and probability of presence in the Group during the retirement. The rates are determined on the basis of global indications such as Reuters. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, the uncertainty bound to these estimations is not significant.

They affect the application of the Group's accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

a.

Impairment of vessels An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the remaining useful life of the vessels and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the assets performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. The carrv~ng amo~.~nt and ke, assumptien~ used to determine the recorerablc amount are further explained in Note 5. The carrying amount of the Group's vessels as at 31 December 2013 was US$431,450,454 (2012: US$246,360,500).

Significant accounting judgments and estimates (cont'd) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont'd) b.

Impairment of goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs)to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The key assumptions applied in the determination of the recoverable amount including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 8. The carrying amount of the Group's goodwill as at 31 December 2013 was US$1,682,385 (2012: US$1,682,385).

c.

Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Group's loans and receivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements.

d.

Taxes Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the Group companies. The carrying amount of the Group's tax payables and recoverables as at 31 December 2013 were US$12,946 (2012: US$7,835) and US$150,305 (2012: US$1,444,944), respectively.

e.

Contingent liabilities Significant judgement is required in assessing the potential claims from counterparties for demurage, shortage of cargo, damages to hull and delays during voyagers. The claims are subject to legal arbitration and only expected to be finalised in the next 5 years. The determination is further explained in Note 16. -22-

Seller's credit arrangement During the year, the cash outflow on acquisition of vessels amounted to US$187,748,802 (2012: US$252,620,148). A further US$40,000,000 measured at fair value of US$33,862,268 (2012: Nil) was financed by means of a seller's credit arrangement (Note 14). The aggregate cost of vessels acquired during the year amounted to US$221,611,070 (2012: US$252,620,148). Impairment of assets 1 he Group carried out reviews of the recoverable amount of its vessels. No impairment loss was recognised during the financial year. For financial year 2013 the recoverable amount of the vessels were based on the independent valuation of a reputable ship broker. For financial year 2012 the recoverable amount of the vessels were based on their value in use and the pre-tax discount rate used was 8.4%.

The above reconciliation is prepared by aggregating separate reconciliations for each national jurisdiction. No provision is made for taxation on qualifying shipping income derived from the operation of the Group's vessels which is exempt from taxation under Section 13A of the Singapore Income Tax Act and the Singapore's Maritime Sector Incentive — Maritime Leasing("MSIML")(Ship) Award which was granted to the Trust and its vessel-owning subsidiaries on 1 August 2013 by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (`MPA"). In certain other countries in which the Group operates, income arising from shipping activities is subject to a tonnage-based tax system under which the computation of taxable income is based on the tonnages of the qualifying vessel fleet. -40-

Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Group's overall risk policy is to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing these risks and they are summarised below: a)

Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The carrying amounts of receivables and cash and cash equivalents represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk. It is the Group's policy to provide credit terms to creditworthy and reputable customers. These receivables are continually monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that issues arising from non-collectibility are minimised. Therefore, the Group does not expect material credit losses on its debts with customers. For other financial assets, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. Exposure to credit risk The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that counterparties fail to perform their obligations as of 31 December 2013 and 2012 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, the Group does not have significant concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with reputable financial institutions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's assets are financially sound and accordingly, minimum credit risk exists with respect to these assets.

Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont'd) a)

Credit risk (cont'd) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy receivables with good payment record with the Group. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 11.

b)

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of the Group's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their loans and borrowings, interest-bearing deposits given to related companies and bank deposits. The Group's financial assets and liabilities at floating rates are contractually repriced at intervals of less than 6 months from the end of the reporting period. The Group's policy is to manage interest cost using floating rate debts. Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk At the end of the reporting period, if interest rates had been 1 %higher with all other variables held constant, the Groin's nr~fit hefore tax ~vo~!Ir~ have been US$1,998,818 (2012: US$779,260) lower, arising mainly as a result of higher interest expenses after netting off interest income. The assumed movement for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

c)

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Trust will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group's and the Trusts exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group's and the Trusts objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.

Financial instruments Fair value Fair value is defined as the amount at which the financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: (a)

Fair value hierarchy The Group categories fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that is dependent on the valuation inputs used as follows: -

Levei i — quoted prices (unadjustecij in active market for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date,

-

Level 2 — Inputs other that quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and

-

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
