    C. Future Outlook

    Summary and Background

    The economy has been going through a prolonged bottoming process. There exists substantial weakness, especially on the consumption demand. Weak inflation and output gap is allowing RBI to carry out policy rate cuts. The government has undertaken a series of policy steps that can improve the growth environment in the medium term. Indian economy has become structurally much more sound in the last couple of years as the twin deficits have come down sharply. Fiscal deficit has come off despite weak tax growth as the government has controlled subsidies and discretionary spending. Fiscal consolidation is expected to continue over the next few years. Current account deficit is dramatically lower on account of the sharp fall in commodity prices as well as weak imports. Further currency has been extremely stable and external reserves have been built up further. With correct policies, we believe that India can regain and indeed have a healthy growth rate over the next 3-4 years.

    Equity outlook

    Corporate profit share of the GDP has fallen sharply during the slowdown. The economic revival is likely to allow corporate sector profits to grow and may create the space for a new bull market in equities. Profits have room to grow on account of fall in input prices, fall in interest rates and also as operating leverage kicks-in on revival of demand.

    Indian markets also provide a highly attractive investment opportunity to foreign investors starved of high growth markets. As a result, we have seen record inflows from foreign investors into the Indian equity markets year-after-year. We expect the interest from foreign investors to remain strong in the future as well. Additionally last year also saw a surge in flows from domestic investors into equity funds. Domestic investors provide an important balance against the high exposure of the market to foreign investors.

    Debt Market Outlook

    In sharp contrast to the previous year, FY15 saw a sharp fall in yields. This fall was driven by improving macro economic performance, notably a fall in inflation from close to double digit levels to around 5%. Inflation fell below the Reserve Bank’s target for the year allowing the RBI to cut interest rates.

    While a part of the fall in inflation can be attributed to a fall in the price of oil, there has been an across-the-board fall in inflation driven by lower food inflation, strong Rupee and continued fiscal consolidation. The Government and RBI have also entered to a monetary policy framework agreement to target inflation at 4% in the medium term. This agreement focuses the monetary and fiscal authorities on a disinflationary path. As a result we expect inflation to remain low and further rate cuts to be delivered by the RBI.

    Risks to the picture emerge from the external sector: interest rate increase by the US Federal Reserve and the impending Greek sovereign debt resolution could lead to volatility in the foreign exchange and bond markets. These risks are expected to be resolved in the near term, while the medium term outlook remains positive driven by low inflation.

    Report on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the schemes mentioned below (collectively “the Schemes”), which comprise the balance sheets as at March 31, 2015, the revenue accounts and cash flow statements, where applicable, for the year ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

    • Axis Liquid Fund• Axis Treasury Advantage Fund• Axis Banking Debt Fund• Axis Short Term Fund• Axis Income Fund• Axis Dynamic Bond Fund

    Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

    Management of Axis Asset Management Company Limited, the scheme’s asset manager, is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows, where applicable, of the Schemes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 (‘the SEBI Regulations’). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

    Auditor’s Responsibility

    Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

    Opinion

    In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information required by the SEBI Regulations in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

    (a) in the case of the balance sheets, of the state of affairs of the respective Schemes as at March 31, 2015;(b) in the case of the revenue accounts, of the surplus for the year ended on that date; and(c) in the case of the cash flow statements, where applicable, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

    Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

    1. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.2. The balance sheets, revenue accounts and cash flow statements, where applicable, dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account.3. In our opinion, the balance sheets and revenue accounts dealt with by this report have been prepared in conformity with the accounting policies and

    standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the SEBI Regulations.4. In our opinion, and on the basis of information and explanations given to us, the methods used to value non traded securities as at March 31, 2015 are in

    accordance with the SEBI Regulations and other guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, as applicable, and approved by the Board of Trustees, and are fair and reasonable.

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    (a) Determination of net asset value ('NAV')

    The net asset value of the units are determined separately for the units issued under the Options.

    (b) Unit capital

    Unit capital represents the net outstanding units at the balance sheet date, thereby reflecting all transactions relating to the period ended on that date.

    (c) Investments

    Accounting for investments

    Valuation of investments

    (d) Revenue recognition

    Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis.Profit or loss on sale/redemption of investments is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method.

    (e) Equalisation account

    (f) Load

    (g) Cash and cash equivalent

    (h) Cash Flow StatementsCash Flow Statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting standard 3 'Cash Flow Statements' for applicable schemes.

    The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, under the historical cost convention, as modified for investments, which are ‘marked-to-market’. The significant accounting policies, which are in accordance with the SEBI Regulations and have been approved by the Boards of Directors of the AMC and theTrustee, are stated below.

    For reporting the net asset value within the portfolio, the Scheme's daily income earned, including realised profit or loss and unrealised gain or loss in the value ofinvestments, and expenses accrued, are allocated to the related options in proportion to their respective daily net assets arrived at by multiplying day-end outstandingunits by previous day's closing NAV.

    Transactions for purchase and sale of investments are recorded on trade date.

    The cost of investments includes all costs incurred in acquiring the investments and incidental to acquisition of investments e.g. brokerage, transaction costs, CCILcharges and any other charges customarily included in the broker’s note.

    Upon issue and redemption of units, the net premium or discount to the face value of units is adjusted against the unit premium reserve of each Option.

    Cash and cash equivalents include balances with banks in current accounts, deposits placed with scheduled banks (with an original maturity of up to three months) andcollateralised lending (including reverse repurchase transactions).

    All investments are stated at their market / fair value at the balance sheet date.

    Units of listed mutual fund schemes, which are traded, are valued at the closing traded price on the respective stock exchange (where the scheme is listed) as on thevaluation date. Units of unlisted mutual fund schemes and units of listed mutual fund schemes which are not traded are valued at the NAV published on AMFI websiteas on the valuation date.

    Government securities (including State Development Loans) are valued at the average of the prices released by CRISIL and ICRA, as suggested by AMFI, on the basisof the valuation principles laid down by SEBI.

    The balance in equalisation account is transferred to revenue account at the year-end without affecting the net income of the Scheme.

    In case of open ended schemes, when units are issued or redeemed, the distributable surplus (excluding unit premium reserve, but including balance of distributablesurplus at the beginning of the year) as on the date of the transaction is determined. Based on the number of units outstanding on the transaction date, the distributablesurplus (excluding unit premium reserve, but including balance of distributable surplus at the beginning of the year) associated with each unit is computed. The per unitamount so determined is credited / debited to the equalisation account on issue / redemption of each unit respectively.

    Exit load (net of service tax) collected is recognized as income and credited to the scheme.

    Treasury Bills (including cash management bills) with residual maturity greater than 60 days, are valued at the average of the prices released by CRISIL and ICRA, assuggested by AMFI, on the basis of the valuation principles laid down by SEBI. The difference between last traded/valued price and next business day's (T+1)aggregated price received from CRISIL and ICRA is amortised linearly upto the day preceding the next business day.

    Treasury bills (including cash management bills) with residual maturity upto 60 days, are valued based on yield to maturity derived from trades done by schemesmanaged by the AMC. If there are no trades done by schemes managed by the AMC for the said security then the securities are valued on the basis of amortized costbased on purchase price or last traded market price, which includes discount / premium accrued on a straight line basis over the period to maturity as long as thevaluation is within a ±0.10% band of the price derived as per the reference yields provided by the Rating Agencies (CRISIL and ICRA). In case the amortized value isoutside the above band, the YTM of the security is adjusted to bring the price within the ±0.10% band.

    Investments in fixed income securities (other than government securities) are valued as follows:

    Prior to July 01, 2014, Bills Purchased under rediscounting schemes is valued at cost plus amortisation.

    All debt securities (including Bills Purchased under rediscounting schemes w.e.f July 01, 2014) with residual maturity upto 60 days, are valued based on yield to maturityderived from trades done by schemes managed by the AMC. If there are no trades done by schemes managed by the AMC for the said security then the securities arevalued on the basis of amortized cost based on purchase price or last traded market price, which includes discount / premium accrued on a straight line basis over theperiod to maturity as long as the valuation is within a ±0.10% band of the price derived as per the reference yields provided by the Rating Agencies (CRISIL and ICRA).In case the amortized value is outside the above band, the YTM of the security is adjusted to bring the price within the ±0.10% band.

    All debt securities (including Bills Purchased under rediscounting schemes w.e.f July 01, 2014) with residual maturity greater than 60 days, are valued using the simpleaverage of the prices released by CRISIL and ICRA, as suggested by AMFI. In case of new purchases which are not a part of the list of CRISIL and ICRA security levelpricing, such securities are valued at weighted average cost/yield on the day of purchase.

    The net unrealized appreciation / depreciation in the value of investments is determined at portfolio level. The change in net unrealized gain / loss, between two balancesheet dates is recognized in the revenue account and net unrealized gain, if any, is thereafter appropriated to the unrealized appreciation reserve.
