Investment Manager’s OverviewThe review period was dominated by the re-emergence of sovereign risk in the European peripheral economies and expectations ofanother round of quantitative easing in the US. Concerns about the sustainability of fiscal deficits of peripheral European countries tookcentre stage thereby leading to bouts of volatility. Rating downgrades of a few peripheral nations further impacted sentiment. AfterGreece, Ireland was the second country in the region to be bailed out due to its fragile banking sector and rising fiscal deficits.Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve (‘Fed’) announced a second round of quantitative easing (QE2) in November, with the intention ofpurchasing $600 billion worth of long term US Treasury securities.

Over the period, the London Interbank Offered Rates (Libor) moved in a very narrow range in the US & the UK. Euro inter-bankfunding rates increased as sovereign debt risks in the peripheral economies intensified over the period. Despite the Irish bailout, moneymarket rates remained high as investors feared a similar fate for other deficit countries.

The European Central Bank (‘ECB’) left its key interest rate unchanged at 1% over the review period but the President, Jean-ClaudeTrichet mentioned the possibility of an interest rate hike given that inflationary risks were on the upside. The ECB will continue its LongTerm Refinancing Operation (LTRO) due to be allotted in April, May and June 2011 as fixed rate tender procedures with full allotment.

The Eurozone economy sustained its positive momentum in the last two quarters of 2010, maintaining the rate of growth at 0.3%quarter on quarter. The region was impacted by adverse weather around the end of the year hampering construction activity. At a countrylevel, Germany and France maintained their pace of economic growth while the activity in peripheral countries was rather weak. BothGreece and Ireland reported a contraction. Nevertheless, Spain and Italy recorded positive growth. Recent data releases and survey basedevidence continue to confirm the positive underlying momentum of economic activity in the euro area at the beginning of 2011.

Inflationary pressures continued to build up in the Eurozone with the annual headline inflation rate increasing to 2.4% in Februaryalthough the inflation rate without energy and food was much lower, below half of the headline figure. Despite austerity measures andsigns of rising inflationary pressures, the European Commission marginally raised their economic growth forecast for 2011, stating thatthe improved outlook for the external environment will provide a boost to European exports.

In the US, the Fed, in order to promote a stronger pace of economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation is at levels consistent with theFed’s mandate, announced an additional purchase of $600 billion of long term US Treasury securities. The federal funds rate was leftunchanged at 0-0.25% and the Fed continues to anticipate that economic conditions, including low rates of resource utilisation, subduedinflation trends, and stable inflation expectations, are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate for an extended period.

Economic recovery continued over the fourth quarter at an annual rate of 2.8%. However, it was slower than previously forecast.Furthermore, the pace of growth appears as insufficient to bring about a significant improvement in labour market conditions. InFebruary, although the unemployment rate fell to 8.9%, it is still very high on a historical basis.

Consumer spending rose less than forecast in January, constrained by increasing food and fuel prices, high unemployment, modestincome growth and lower housing wealth. Although commodity prices have risen, the Fed said that longer term inflation expectationshave remained stable, and measures of underlying inflation remained subdued.

In the UK, the Bank of England (‘BoE’) left the interest rate unchanged at 0.5% even as headline inflation remains at twice the 2% target.The high rate of inflation led to a four way split among members of the Monetary Policy Committee. Three members backed an increasein interest rates in February while another member voted to extend the bank’s stock of asset purchases by an additional £50 billion whilekeeping the bank rate unchanged. The BoE also maintained its stock of asset purchases at £200 billion.

Partly reflecting adverse weather conditions, economic growth contracted by 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The weakness wasbroadbased and both consumer spending and business investment declined. Despite a strong growth in exports, imports rose at a fasterpace. Recent surveys suggest the contraction could have been a temporary setback, with manufacturing strengthening. Meanwhile,headline inflation remained stubbornly above the BoE’s target for 14 consecutive months and has exceeded the government’s 3% limitsince March. The hike in value added tax from 17.5% to 20%, rising commodity costs and a weak Pound have all added to pricepressures. In its February Inflation report, the BoE suggested that inflation could rise to between 4% and 5% by the first half of this yearbefore falling back.

The housing market continued to remain fragile with house prices declining. According to the Halifax House Price Index, UK houseprices fell at their fastest annual pace for 16 months in February, raising further concerns about the strength of the economic recovery.Moreover, according to figures released by the British Bankers Association, the number of mortgages approved for home buyers inJanuary was 29% less than a year ago.

In Canada, the Bank of Canada (‘BoC’) raised its benchmark interest rate in September from 0.75% to 1%. The BoC stopped raisinginterest rates after September and scaled back plans to exit stimulus as policy makers dealt with the impact of a strong currency and aslowdown in growth of household and government spending that crimped the economic recovery. In its January Monetary Policy Report,the BoC stated that any further changes to monetary policy would need to be carefully considered.

The recovery in Canada is proceeding broadly as anticipated with GDP accelerating to an annual pace of 3.3% in the fourth quarter. Netexports are projected to contribute more to growth going forward, supported by stronger US activity and global demand forcommodities. Overall, the BoC projects the economy will expand by 2.4% in 2011 and 2.8% in 2012.

The inflation rate slowed in January, rising 2.3% from a year earlier. According to the BoC, underlying pressures affecting prices remainsubdued, reflecting the considerable slack in the Canadian economy. The BoC further added that core inflation is projected to edgegradually up to 2% by the end of 2012, as excess supply in the economy is slowly absorbed.

Notes to the Financial StatementsAs at 28 February 2011

1. GeneralThe Company is an open ended investment company with variable capital organised under the laws of Ireland as a public limitedcompany pursuant to the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009 and is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. It was incorporated on 29 June 1995under registration number 235175. The authorisation of the Company is not an endorsement or guarantee of the Company or itsperformance by the Central Bank of Ireland. Its object, as set out in clause 2 of the Company’s Memorandum of Association, is thecollective investment in either or both transferable securities and other liquid financial assets referred to in Regulation 45 of the EuropeanCommunities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2003 (as amended), of capital raised fromthe public and which operates on the basis of risk spreading. At present the Company’s shares represent interest in The United StatesDollar Fund, The Sterling Fund, The Euro Fund and The Canadian Dollar Fund (each a ‘Fund’), each relating to a separate portfolio ofsecurities, cash and other net assets.

2. Significant Accounting PoliciesThe significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

BASIS OF PREPARATIONThe financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and Irish legislationcomprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009 and the UCITS Regulations. Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland inpreparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland andissued by the Accounting Standards Board.

The Fair Value Adjustments in the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Operations are due to the revaluation of financial assets basedon bid market pricing for financial statement purposes. For the Net Asset Value calculations financial assets are valued at amortised cost.

The format and certain wordings of the financial statements have been adapted from those contained in the Companies (Amendment) Act1986, (as amended) and FRS3 ‘Reporting Financial Performance’ so that, in the opinion of the Directors, they more appropriately reflect thenature of the Company as an investment fund. Certain comparatives have been restated to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company has availed of the exemption available to open-ended investment funds under FRS1 not to prepare a cash flow statement.

HISTORICAL COST CONVENTIONThe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets andfinancial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss.

INCOMEIncome from investment securities is accounted for in the Statement of Operations using the effective interest method.

SECURITY VALUATIONThe Company has classified financial instruments as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The fairvalue of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at 28 February 2011. The quoted market priceused for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. The Company may invest in securities that are not traded in anactive market (for example in over-the-counter money market instruments). The fair value of these investments is determined by using avaluation technique. This is a matrix based technique which calculates a fair value price based on the correlation of spot to 12 monthLIBOR rates and length of time to maturity of each asset in this category.

All other assets are valued in such manner as the Directors of the Company may deem appropriate. The Company does not own anyrestricted securities, all holdings being quoted on an official market, except where otherwise distinguished in the Fund’s schedule ofinvestments.

REALISED GAINS AND LOSSESThe realised gains and losses on transferable securities arising during the period are transferred to the Statement of Operations and aretreated as income.

FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONSThe issue and redemption price of each Fund is based on the last calculated Net Asset Value per share.

REDEEMABLE PARTICIPATING SHARESRedeemable participating shares are redeemable in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Prospectus at the shareholder’soption and are classified as financial liabilities. The participating shares can be put back to the Company at any time for cash equal to aproportionate share of the Company’s Net Asset Value. The participating share is carried at the redemption amount that is payable at thebalance sheet date if the shareholder exercised its right to put the share back to the Company.

FOREIGN EXCHANGEItems included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which itoperates (the ‘functional currency’). As functional currency is determined at the individual Fund level the functional currency in respectof each Fund is the United States Dollar for The United States Dollar Fund, the Pound Sterling for The Sterling Fund, the Euro for TheEuro Fund and the Canadian Dollar for The Canadian Dollar Fund.

19

For aggregation purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into United States Dollars (‘USD’) at theexchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into USD at the exchange rates ruling atthe dates of the transactions. Gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the Statement of Operations indetermining the results for the period.

The conversion exchange rates used in the Statement of Net Assets were as at the balance sheet date.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement dated 1 October 2005, FFM(I)L earnsa monthly management fee, accrued daily and based on the total net assets of the Funds.

For the period ended 28 February 2011, the total management fee was capped at 0.15% per annum of the Net Asset Value of each Fund.On the Class B shares the total fee was capped at 0.40%, comprising the management fee capped at 0.15% and the shareholder servicefee capped at 0.25%. During the period these fees were reduced if required to ensure a yield of 0.01% on Class B Shares. On the Class Dshares the total fee was capped at 0.20%, comprising the management fee capped at 0.15% and the shareholder service fee capped at0.05%. From this the Manager discharges all fees and expenses, including custody fees, directors’ fees, audit fees and any out of pocketexpenses of the Administrator, the Custodian, the Investment Manager, other service providers and the establishment costs of theCompany. No fees are accrued on the USD Class C shares.

FFM(I)L has delegated its discretionary powers of investment to FIL Investments International (‘FII’), as Investment Manager. FII wasincorporated in England & Wales and FIL Limited is the ultimate parent company. FII is authorised to receive a monthly investmentmanagement fee from the Manager, payable out of the management fee.

The Manager has appointed FIL Distributors (‘FILD’), as General Distributor of the Funds. FILD is paid out of the management fee.

FFM(I)L also acts as the Administrator and Registrar of the Company. FFM(I)L is responsible for calculating the daily Net Asset Value ofthe shares of each Fund, maintaining the Funds’ books and records and acting as Registrar and Transfer Agent. FFM(I)L has also beenappointed as Company Secretary and prepares the Company’s annual and half yearly reports and other shareholder information.

4. Principal RisksThe Board of Directors of FIL Limited has established a risk policy, a risk appetite statement and a number of other risk related policiesfor adoption throughout the FIL Limited Group. There is a clearly defined structure operating within a corporate governance andmanagement framework that is designed to address the related business risks, including those arising from financial instruments. Riskmanagement policies and procedures are updated according to market, industry and government initiatives and regulatory developments.It is the Board of Directors of the Company that is ultimately responsible for monitoring risk but day to day management of the riskprocess has been delegated to other areas as appropriate.

FIL Limited Group operates a ‘multiple lines of defence’ approach to risk management; also the risk control processes are comprehensive,multi-layered, both quantitative and qualitative and do not rely on any one risk measure or system. The primary responsibility forfinancial instrument risk management rests with the Investment Manager. On a regular basis each Fund is formally reviewed by theInvestment Manager; the review covers multiple aspects of the Fund’s profile including trading activity, turnover, performance, structure,style profile and other relevant subjects. In addition to this review there is a formal Investment Risk Oversight Committee (‘IROC’),chaired by the head of the independent Investment Management Risk function, whose remit includes review of various risk andperformance measures, liquidity and other investment risks. The Company is governed by the UCITS Regulations and the Central Bankof Ireland’s UCITS Notices and its compliance therewith, and with the Prospectus limits, are monitored and reported on by anindependent Investment Compliance function.

The main risks arising from financial instruments are credit, liquidity, counterparty, market price, foreign currency and interest rate risksand they, together with the risk management objectives, policies and procedures used to manage them, are outlined below.

20

CREDIT RISKCredit risk arises as both counterparty and issuer credit risk.

All security investments are transacted through brokers who have been approved by the FIL Limited Group as an acceptablecounterparty. The list of approved brokers is reviewed regularly.

There is a risk of loss if a counterparty fails to perform its financial or other obligations to a Fund, for example, the possibility that acounterparty may default by failing to make payments due, or failing to repay principal and interest in a timely manner. If settlementnever occurs the loss incurred by the Fund will be the difference between the price of the original contract and the price of thereplacement contract or, in the case where the contract is not replaced, the absolute value of the contract at the time it is voided.Furthermore, in some markets ‘Delivery versus Payment’ may not be possible in which case the absolute value of the contract is at risk ifthe Fund meets its settlement obligations but the counterparty fails before meeting its obligations under the relevant contract.

A Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the institutions with which its money is deposited suffers insolvency or otherfinancial difficulties. Credit risk also arises from the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate repayment of principal and interest or otherdebt instrument investments by the issuers of such securities. Although the Funds may invest in high quality credit instruments, therecan be no assurance that the institutions or securities in which a Fund invests will not be subject to credit difficulties leading to the lossof some or all of the sums invested in such institutions, securities or other instruments.

The credit quality of permitted investments is strictly monitored and investment grade debt securities will be rated A or higher for longterm securities or rated A-1 or higher for short term securities. Each Fund invests only in investment grade debt securities.

The following table breaks down the financial assets of the Company by rating category:

LIQUIDITY RISKLiquidity risk is the risk of a Fund having insufficient same day realisable cash, investments and borrowing capacity to fund redemptionrequests net of subscriptions. In normal market conditions, a Fund’s assets comprise mainly realisable securities which can be readilysold. A Fund’s liabilities arise primarily through its exposure to the redemption of any shares that investors wish to sell. The InvestmentManager endeavours to manage the Fund’s investments including cash, such that it can meet its liabilities. If investments cannot berealised in time to meet any potential liability, the Company may borrow up to 10% of its Net Asset Value to provide short term cash tosettle redemptions. It is expected that the weighted average maturity of each Fund will not exceed 60 days. However Fund redemptionsmay cause the average maturity to exceed 60 days temporarily and in the event of such an occurrence all best efforts will be made toreduce the average maturity to within 60 days.

The Company has a committed facility arranged by J.P. Morgan Europe Limited (Facility Agent) and provided by a syndicate ofinternational banks.

If the Company receives aggregate requests for the redemption of shares in respect of 10% or more of the outstanding shares in any Fundor 10% or more of the Net Asset Value of the relevant Fund on any subscription day, the Company may elect to restrict the total numberof shares redeemed to 10% of the outstanding shares in the Fund or to 10% of the Net Asset Value of the relevant Fund. In this case allrequests will be scaled down on a pro-rata basis and shares which are not redeemed by reason of such refusal shall be treated as if arequest for redemption had been made in respect of each subsequent subscription day until all shares to which the original requestrelated have been redeemed. The remaining balance will be redeemed (subject always to the foregoing limit) in priority to subsequentredemption requests on the next subscription day. This procedure is in place to manage liquidity risk in the Company and to protect theinterests of the remaining shareholders.

21

At the 28 February 2011 (and at 28 February 2010), redeemable participating shares are redeemable on demand, subject to thelimitations described in the previous paragraph or during any period of temporary suspension of valuation of shares, sales andredemptions, and all other liabilities are repayable within one month.

MARKET RISKMarket Risk comprises Market Price Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, and Interest Rate Risk.

MARKET PRICE RISKMarket price risk arises from the uncertainty about future price movements on financial instruments held. It represents the potential lossthe Company might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements. The value of investments is not fixed andmay go down as well as up. This may be as a result of a specific factor affecting the value of an individual investment, or may be causedby general market factors.

The Investment Manager considers the asset allocation of the portfolios in order to optimise the risk associated with particular countriesor industry sectors whilst continuing to follow each Fund’s investment objective. The Investment Manager does not currently usederivative instruments to hedge the investment portfolios against market risk, as in its opinion the cost of such a process would result inan unacceptable reduction in the potential for capital growth.

FAIR VALUE ESTIMATIONIFRS7 requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputsused in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

• Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) orindirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2); and

• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company considers observabledata to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and providedby independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

Instruments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets are classified within Level 1. The Company does notadjust the quoted price for these instruments.

The Company uses valuation techniques to derive the fair value for over-the-counter money market instruments classified within Level 2.Instruments whose values are based on evaluated market prices (adjusted by the vendor) are also classified within this Level.

The Company does not have any Level 3 measurements.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISKThere is no foreign currency risk as each Fund only holds assets in the same currency as the currency of the shares in issue.

INTEREST RATE RISK Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a fixed rate debt security can fall wheninterest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall.

Securities with longer maturity dates can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. As the permitted investments of the Fund’s entailtrading in interest bearing securities, there is an exposure to interest rate risk. The Investment Manager manages this exposure bygenerally investing in instruments whose maturity or interest rate refixing date is less than 397 days. The Fund’s investment portfolioyield profiles are monitored regularly in pursuance of the investment objectives and policies as set out in the Prospectus of the Company.

The interest rate profiles of the financial assets of each Fund as at 28 February 2011 and 28 February 2010 were as follows:

1 The Weighted Average Interest Rate is calculated on the par value of the underlying securities. This Weighted Average Interest Rate is not

calculated on the same basis as the Fund yield disclosed in the Investment Manager’s Overview. The yields presented in the Overview are

calculated based on market values rather than par values.2 Please note that only fixed interest securities have been included in the calculation of the above Weighted Average Period until Maturity (WAMs).

If all portfolio securities were included, the WAMs would be: 25 (ILFCAD), 44 (ILFEUR), 43 (ILFGBP) & 40 (ILFUSD).3 Please note that only fixed interest securities have been included in the calculation of the above Weighted Average Period until Maturity (WAMs).

If all portfolio securities were included, the WAMs would be: 27 (ILFCAD), 35 (ILFEUR), 30 (ILFGBP) & 34 (ILFUSD).
