Market Neutral Selector Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 10 (All amounts in euro) General Market Neutral Selector Fund (“the Fund”), located in Utrecht, at offices of the Fund’s Manager was formed as an open ended mutual investment fund. On April 18, 2002 the Fund obtained a license in compliance with art. 5 sub 1 of the Act on the Supervision of Investment Institutions. The Fund has the fiscal status of a closed investment fund. Pursuant to a private information memorandum dated April 2002 an offer was made to potential investors to subscribe in the Fund’s participations on a semi-continuous basis. The Fund commenced trading on May 29, 2002. Under circumstances as stated in the information memorandum the management may decide to postpone subscriptions and redemptions to the Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve short- and medium-term capital appreciation by investing its assets primarily in other investment funds with an average volatility, which is lower than stock markets and almost equal to bond markets. Suspension of subscriptions and redemptions On December 23, 2008, the manager has decided to temporarily suspend all subscriptions and redemptions of the Fund, due to adverse market conditions and related illiquidity of the investments of the Fund. Liquidation of the Fund On December 17, 2010, the manager has decided to liquidate the fund as per December 31, 2010, and to repay the amounts to the participants. As a result of this decision, the accounting principles of the Fund are changed to liquidation basis. The effect of the anticipated liquidation on the net asset value per December 31, 2010 and on the result for the period then ended has not been material. Effective June 30, 2012, the management of the Fund was transferred to Finles N.V. (“Finles” or “the manager”) in order to liquidate the remaining positions of the Fund and distribute the proceeds, net of expenses, to the participants of the Fund. Semi-annual financial report 1st half year 2017 and comparative figures 2017 The current report covers the period from January 1, 2017 until June 30, 2017. The report is not audited. The comparative figures are for the balance the ultimate 2016 values and for the Profit & Loss the figures of the semi-annual report of June 30, 2016. The manager has prepared the semi-annual report 1st half year 2017 in accordance with the relevant requirements as stated in Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Act on the Financial Supervision (AFS) (“Wet op het financieel toezicht”).

Accounting principles The accounting principles of the Fund are summarized below. These accounting principles have all been applied consistently throughout the period and the preceding period: a) Basis of accounting The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the fair valuation of available-for-sale securities, financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading and all derivative financial instruments. Because it has not been possible and efficient to account for the development of the historical costs of the investment securities and the amounts receivable in the period from January 1, 2011 until December 31, 2012, the manager has decided to consider the historical cost of investment securities and amounts receivable equal to their fair value as at December 31, 2012. This has not resulted in any effect on the capital of the Fund per June 30, 2017. b) Measurement currency The financial statements are prepared in euro in accordance with the fact that the participations of the Fund are denominated in euro. c) Investments i) Recognition and basis of measurement Taking into account the matter described under a) basis of accounting, all investment securities are initially recognized at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given including transaction costs. ii) Valuation On 20 July 2017, the Investment Manager received two notices from the Dutch Authority Financial Markets (AFM). The notices concern: (1) the suspension of purchases and sales of participations in Subfonds Finles Collectief Beheer I.L., Finles Multi Strategy Hedge Fund I.L. and the Finles Next Generation Fund I, and (2) regulatory compliance of the investment manager’s organizational procedures and in particular the valuation methodology of its fund assets. The reason for the notice is AFM’s concern regarding the valuation methodology of the investments. Finles has made significant changes to the existing valuation methodology and organizational procedures related to the valuation methodology for the investments of all Finles funds. The changes are the result of a combined effort by the Finles management and employees of investment management, compliance, finance, legal affairs in close cooperation with several external service providers. The updated methodology differentiates between ‘regular’ and ‘specific’ investments. The new valuation methodology, which also applies to Market Neutral Selector Fund, has been accepted and implemented as per 17 August 2017. The valuation of the investments is based on to the following methodologies: • Method A: Bloomberg pricing; if an investment is quoted on Bloomberg than the quote on Bloomberg will be used. • Method B: Valuation of non-listed investments based on the statements of the administrator subject to an annual report with a clean opinion. • Method C: Valuation of non-listed investments based on an estimate by an external fund manager subject to an annual report with a clean opinion no older than one year. The estimate will not be used if the estimate deviates more than 10% from reported value nor if the impact of the revaluation is more than 0.5% of the respective Finles fund(s).

Market Neutral Selector Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the 6-months’ period from January 1, 2017 until June 30, 2017 (All amounts in euro) • •

12

Method D: Valuation based on a realizable market valuation. If available, prices on the secondary market valuation will be used. Nil valuation: If none of the abovementioned methodologies is applicable, the investment will be valued at nil.

Fund investments in liquidation, which also applies to all investments in Market Neutral Selector Fund, will be valued according to Method D. Broker policy secondary market The investment manager uses a ‘brokers list’ with qualified and accepted professional counterparties. Brokers can be added to the list if they meet the following criteria:

• • •

Fully independent from the investment manager (i.e. Finles) and its funds Part of a national or international organization and/or partnership Competitive commissions and pricing

The investment manager will select the brokers and evaluate the ‘brokers list’ at least once per year. The evaluation report will be discussed in the next periodic management meeting. New brokers will be presented to the CFO first and evaluated in cooperation with investment management. The evaluation will be discussed in the periodic management meeting. The management will decide if the new broker will be added tot he ‘brokers list’. Funds in liquidation will be valued based on secondary market prices originating from brokers on the ‘brokers list’. The investment manager will request prices from multiple brokers on the ‘brokers list’. The investment manager will request prices at least on a biannual basis. If the investment manager suspects that the price on the secondary market is no longer valid as a result fundamental and fund specific developments, updated prices will be requested. If prices were obtained from multiple brokers on the ‘brokers list’, the highest price will be used. If a price range is received, the mid-price will be used. Secondary market prices should not be older than six months. If no prices can be obtained, the investments will be valued at nil. ) 4.

Method D; Specific valuation procedure. In cases where the investment can not be categorized inthe first three categories a different valuation procedure than described above is used. In the vast majority of cases a price on the secondary market will be used. In cases where we have not received an audited annual report for the past two years, Finles will request bids from secondary market brokers to value the investment.

iii) Dividend and interest income Dividends are recorded on the date that the dividends are declared, net of applicable withholding taxes. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

iv) Gains and losses Gains and losses are treated as realized for financial statement purposes on the trade date of the transaction closing or offsetting the open position. Unrealized gains and losses are the difference between the value initially recognized and cost of open positions, taking into account the matter described under a) basis of accounting. All gains and losses are recognized in the profit and loss account. d) Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange contracts, stock market indexes and interest rate futures, forward rate agreements, currency and interest rate swaps, currency and interest rate options (both written and purchased) and other derivative financial instruments are initially recognized in the balance sheet at cost and subsequently are remeasured at their fair value, taking into account the matter described under a) basis of accounting. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate. All derivative financial instruments are carried in assets when amounts are receivable by the Fund and in liabilities when amounts are payable by the Fund. Changes in fair values of derivatives are included in the profit and loss account, taking into account the matter described under a) basis of accounting. e) Translation of foreign currency Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euro at the rates of exchange prevailing at year-end. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are charged or credited to the profit and loss account as foreign currency gains and losses except where they relate to investments where such amounts are included within realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, taking into account the matter described under a) basis of accounting. f) Brokerage / expenses Commissions payable on opening and closing positions are recognized when the trade is entered into. Expenses are recorded in the period in which they originate. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of securities. Expenses on disposal of investments are deducted from the proceeds of disposal. g) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the balance sheet and the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents is defined as cash at banks and brokers. The cash flow statement is prepared by using the direct method.

The Fund invests in other investment funds, which bear their own expenses, such as management fees, performance fees and other expenses. These expenses form part of the net asset values of these funds, and are not separately charged to the Fund. Lacking sufficient and reliable information about these expenses, the manager of The Fund is not in a position to calculate the Ongoing Charge Factor of these investments as required under the provisions of Section 123 1.l of the Decree on the Financial Supervision (“Bgfo”) is presented.

20

In the normal course of its business, the Fund purchases and sells (derivative) financial instruments, which are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including among others, market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest-rate risk. a) Market risk Market risk is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make a financial instrument less valuable or more onerous. The Fund’s market risk is managed through diversification of the investment portfolio. For the overall on-balance sheet market exposure we refer to the investment securities disclosure. (note 1). b) Credit risk The principal credit risk is counterparty default (i.e., failure by the counterparty to perform as specified in the contract) due to financial impairment or for other reasons. Credit risk is generally higher when a nonexchange-traded or foreign exchange-traded financial instrument is involved. Credit risk is reduced by dealing with reputable counterparties. The Fund manages credit risk by monitoring its aggregate exposure to counterparties. c) Liquidity risk Per the date of the balance sheet all investments in portfolio can be considered as illiquid. d) Interest rate risk The Fund is exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. The general risk of changes in fair value of financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates is considered to be included in the term market risk as described above. The table below summarizes the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the table are the Fund’s assets and liabilities at fair values categorized by the earlier of contractual reprising and maturity dates. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are included in other assets and other liabilities under the heading non-interest bearing. The off-balance sheet gap represents the net notional amounts of all interest sensitive financial instruments.
