FRESCO Notes to the Financial Statements at 31 December 2001“)
Note 1 - Description -. of the-FAncl
The Cornpany is structured as an utnbrella fund organised under Luxembourg Law as an undeitakiriy for collective investn-lent in the form of a “Societe d’lrivestissement a Capital Variable” (“SICAV). The Company was incorporated on 7 September 2001 pursuant to Patt I of the Law of 30 Match 1988 for an unlirnited period of time. At 31 December 2001, 6 Sub- funds were a c h e as described below.
The Company has been established to provide investors with an opportunity to purchase Shares iri its Sub-funds, the investment objective of each of which is to aim to track a specific Index. Each Sub-fund aims to I-eplicate 01’ track, before expenses, the price and iriconie p e r f o r m “ of its Index by holding a portfolio of transferable securities that cornprises all or substantially all of the Component Securities of its Index. Accordingly, each Sub-fund is not managed according to tlie traditional approach of active investment management, but a passive approach is applied to each Sub-fund by indexing techniques.
The purpose of the Conipany is for each of it’s Sub-furids through having its Shares listed an m e 01- more Listing Stock Exchanges to be an Exchange Traded Furid (“ETF”). With the exceptions detailed in the prospectus, only institutions qualifying as Authorised Participants ai-e able to suhscr-he or I-edeern shares by acceptiny in kind stocks, which mostly are stocks composing the relevant index. Those “in kind” subscriptions and redemptions allow tninirriisiny fund turnover arid loweririg trading expenses. A secondary market is created through such Authorised Participants. Persons who ai-e not Authurised Patticipants are able lo buy 01- sell Shares in a S~ib-fiirid on a Listing Stock Exchange at prices which should approximate to the Indicative Intra-Day NAV Per Share from other investors in Shares who are acting as market maker’s or brokerldealers.
In otdet to allow participants in the secondary matket to have access to a leal time estimate of lhe NAV Per Share, an indicative Intra-Day NAV Pet Share IS calculated by a CalcLilalion Agent appointed by the Disti ibutor

Securities listed on a recoynised stock exchange or dealt in on any other Regulated Market at-e valuecl at their last available closing prices, or, in the event that there are several such markets, on the basis of their last available closing prices on the principal market for the relevant security provided that such closing prices used are normally the same as those used by the Index Provider i f i calculating the value of each Sub-fund's Index, but in the event that the last available price does not truly reflect the fair market value of the televant securities, the value of such securities are defined by the Board of Director's based on the reasonably foreseeable sales price deterrnined prudently and in good faith.
Secut-ities riot listed or traded on a stock exchange or not dealt in on another Regulated Market are valued on the basis of t he probable sales price determined prudently and in good faith by the Board of Directors.
The licluidatiny value of futures, fotwarcl 01' options contracts traded on exchanges of on other Regulated Markets at-e based upon t,he lasl available settlement pi-ices of these contracts on exchanges and Regulated Markets on which the particular futures, foiward 01' options contracts are traded by the Cornpany; provided that if a futut-es, fwward or options contract can riot be liquidated on the day with respect to which net assets are being deteimined, the basis fot- deter rninirq the IiqLiidating value of such contract is such value as the Board of Directors may deem fair and reasonable.
Treatrnent - . __ . . of Cu ... rrer@
The books and records of each Sub-funds are denominated in the Base Currencies as described in Note 1 with the exception of the DJ UK Titans 50 Sub-fund for which books are kept in GBP and which Net Asset Value is convetted to EUR usirig Reuters exchange rate at 12pm EST (6prn Luxernbourg time). All assets and liabilities of the Sub-funds expressed iri a currency other than the Base Currency ai-e convetted into the Base Currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the principal Regulated Market of such asset on the Dealing Day preceding the Valuation Time. The exchange gain or- loss at-isiny from the translation of these items is taker1 into account in the detertiination of the results of operations.
In ot-der to prepare combined financial statements, financial statements of each Sub-fund that is not EUR derioniinated have been converted into EUR at the following exchange rates:

The net trealiscd gain or loss on investment securities sold or paid out in kind as part of tlie Redeniptiun Pi-ice for Shares is deter.mined on the average cost basis. The assets of the Fund include all stocks, stock dividends, cash dividends and cash disti ibutions receivable by the Fund to the extent that infoimation therein is reasonably available to the Fund and all interest accrued on any interest-bearing securities owned by the Fund, except to the extent that it is included or rellected in the principal amount of such security. Dividends and interest income are accrued net of related withholding tax.
E) Oiganisation -. -_ Expenses
All of the Company's forinatiori and establishment expenses, including legal fees, other advisers fees, initial registration fees, the up-front licensing fees payable to each Index Provider, any initial listing fees have been deferred and shall be amortised over a petiod not exceeding five years fi-orn the formation of the Company in equal instalrnents.
F) Options ..-.. and Futures Contracts
For the purpose of an efficient portfolio management, the Company [nay enter irtto futures contracts as set forth in the prospectus. Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are included in deposits on financial futures in t he Statement of Net Assets. The unrealised appreciation or depreciation on open futures contracts is calculated as the difference between the contract price at trade date and the cui-relit day price on the last business day of the reporting period.
For the purpose of an efficient poitfolio management, the Company may furthermore purchase and write (sell) options as set forth in the prospectus. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Company pays a pi-erriium whether 01- not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Company bears the r-isk of loss of the prerniurn arid any change in market value should the counter-party not perfoi.tn under the coiltract. Put and call options purchased ate accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by prerniurn paid. The proceeds froin securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. When the Carnpany writes an option the prernium received by the Company is recorded as a liahility and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written. The Conipany recor-ds preniicims received from written options that expit-e unexercised on the expit ation date as realised gairis fr.om option transactions. The difference between the pr-erniurn and the airlotint paid on the effecting closing purchase transaction, including hi-okerage cornrnissions, is also treated as a realised gain, or if the prernium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realised loss. If a written call option is exercised, the pi.eniium is added to the proceeds from the sale of ttie underlying security ill detetrnininy whether ttie Company has realised a gain or a loss. If a written put option is exercised, the pretniurn reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Curnpany. In wt itiriy covered options, the Company hears the market risk of unfavoiirable ctiarlge in the pi-ice of the security underlyirig the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Company could result in the Company selling or buying a security at a price different frorn ttie current market value. Losses fi-orn written market index options may be unlimited.
As of 31 December. 2001, the Company had no outstanding futures or options contracts

Under. cui-rent Luxembourg law and practice, the Company is not liable to any Luxernbourg income tax, nor are dividerids paid by the Company liable to any Luxernbourg withholding tax. Under current Luxerribout-y law and practice, no capital gains tax is payable on the realised capital appreciation of the assets of the Company. The Company is, however, liable to an aririual tax in Luxembourg calculated, in accordance with Article 108 of the Luxembourg Law dated 30 March 1988, at the late of O . O l o / ~ of the NAV of all its Sub-funcis. This tax is payable quatterly on the basis of the NAV of the Sub- funds, calculated at the end of the quaitet- to which the tax relates. No starnp or other tax will be payable in Luxembourg in coririection with the issue of Sttares of the Company, except a once and for all tax of LUF 50,000 which was paid upon incorporation.
Under the United Kingdom Inconie and Corporation Taxes Act, 1988, offshore funds niust distribute substantially all of their income every yeat, in order to apply to the United Kingdorn Inland Revenue for cer'tification as a distributing fund. Such approval is granted I etrospectively for each accounting period.
Prospective investor's should consult their own taxation advisers in relation to their own individual cir cumstances as they may differ from the general statements that appear above.
The Company, for each Sub-fund is subject to taxation on capital gains, interest and dividends it1 cettain jurisdictions in which each Sub-fund invests. It is the policy of each Sub- fund to accrue for such taxes when the dividend is declared 01- interest is ear-ned. At each valuation date, taxation on iinrealised appreciation of securities is accrued for at statutory rates
Note 5 Distribution
Upon a proposal of the Board of Directors and within the limits provided by Luxembourg Law, the general meeting of Shareholders of the class or classes of Shares issued in respect of any Sub-Fund will determine how the income of each Sub-fund shall be dealt with, and may from time to time declare distr-ibutions. The Board of Directors may decide to pay interim dividends in compliance with the conditions set fotth by Luxembourg Law.
The Company intends for each Sub-fund to distribute its net income in order to achieve the rriaximum tracking accuracy of t he relevant Index. An income equalisation amount will be calculated by refeterice to the amount of the Daily NAV Per Shar-e representing accrued net incorne (or deficit) at the time when a subscription 01' a redemption in kind is made so that the dividend representing net investment income corr-esporids to the net income !return of the Index.
Presently, it is foreseen, that the Company will pay out dividends or interim dividends for Shales within each Sub-furid on the date or dates resolved by t he general meeting of Stiareholders in each of the ex-dividend rnanths (Le. June and December). If a dividend is declared in respect of such Sub-funds, it is currently foreseen that paynient will be effected no later than 2 inoriths after the date on which it was declared.

Note 6 E-qualisation for German investors
The equalisation is calculated for each of the Suh-funds to avoid that the taxable arnounl per share is irnpacled hy the fluctuation of the nurnbei. of outstanding shares during the fiscal year. These figuies are not profit and loss arnounts but pait of the capital fluctuation. They will be included in the calculation of the Deemed Distribution amounts.
Note 7 Transactions -. . - by the Company
As a result of each Sub-fund typically receiving (or delivering) the securities through in kind subscriptions (or redernptiuns) made by Authorised Participants Sub-funds will not normally erigage in high levels of investment transactions. In accordance with the Investment Policy of each Sub-fund investment transactions may be entered into periodically by the Company in seeking to achieve the Sub-fund’s Investment Objectives. Subject to the Investment Policy established by the B0ar.d of Directors, the Portfolio Manager of each Sub-fund is primarily responsible for the execution of each Sub-fund’s investment transactions and the allocation of the brokerage commissions and will select brokers who will provide the best overall service to the Cornpany. The Cornpany has no obligation to deal with any specific brokei- or group of brokers in execution of transactions in securities for a Sub-fund. However, the Company contemplates that a substantial amourit of such transactions will be conducted through Authorised Participants or their affiliates or affiliates of the relevant Portfolio Manager; provided always that any such person will endeavor to transact such transactions on a best execution basis. Certain t,ransactions may be subject to a comniission 01- dealei- mark-up which may not be the lowest commission or spread available. Brokers who provide suppleniental services called soft commissions to a Sub-fund’s Portfolio Manager may receive otders for transactions by the Company. Soft commission services so received by a Portfolio Manager will be in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be perforrned by the Sub-fund’s Portfolio Manager and the fees of the Pottfolio Manager will riot LE reduced as a result of the receipt of such sofl conitnissions. The Advisory Company is satisfied that such soft coriirnissioti arranyetnents comply with [’el evan t regulatory roqu ire inen ts .
