LAKSON INCOME FUND

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 The Board of Directors of Lakson Investments Limited, the Management Company of the Lakson Income Fund ("LIF") is pleased to submit its report together with Audited Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2017 Fund Objective The investment objective of the Scheme is to provide competitive total returns through investment in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. The Scheme shall invest in various fixed income securities with a mix of short term, medium term, and longer term maturities depending on the assessment by the Management Company of interest rate trends and prospective returns. Fund Profile LIF is an open end income fund which invests in Investment-grade Debt Securities, Government Securities, Certificate of Investments, Clean Placements, Term Deposit Receipts, and other fixed income instruments. The overall duration of the portfolio is kept below 4 years while at least 25% of Net Assets are kept in the form of cash or Treasury Bills of maximum 90 days maturity. LIF is managed through a team-driven, top-down process utilizing active sector rotation, duration and yield curve management. Economic conditions are constantly monitored to forecast interest rate changes. The added value for LIF comes from identifying opportunities to shift investments between various maturities and between different instruments. LIF is allowed to borrow up to 15% of Net Assets to meet redemptions however LIF did not utilize this facility during the period under review. Fund Performance The LIF yielded 6.92% in FY17 compared to 8.57% in FY16. The Benchmark of the LIF, average daily rate of 6 month KIBOR, yielded 6.00% in FY17 compared to 7.16% in FY16. The LIF outperformed the Benchmark by 92bps. Asset allocation was split between placements (26%), corporate debt (9%), MTS (2%), spread transactions (6%) and cash (50%) while WAM was maintained on the lower end at 166 days. The LIF grew by 24.32% in FY17 to PKR 3,624 mn from PKR 2,915 mn at the start of the year. The Fund paid out PKR 7.45/unit in dividend in line with its policy of distributing over 90% of the annual income to unit holders. The LIF has squared its longer tenor exposure as market yields started to rebound on the back of rising interest rates possibilities. In an environment where interest rates seem to have bottomed out and the risk/return profile of taking yield curve risk is unfavorable the Fund will focus on building exposure towards MTS, Spread transactions, quality TFCs/Sukuks and high yielding bank placements. Earnings Per Unit (EPU) EPU is not being disclosed as we feel determination of weighted average units for calculating EPU is not practicable for open end funds Income Distribution The Chief Executive Officer under the authority from Board of Directors of the Management Company during the year declared the interim payout of PKR 7.4452 per unit (7.4452% of face value of PKR 100/-) amounting to PKR 38.521 million distribution in cash for the year ended June 30, 2017.

External Auditor The existing auditors M/s. BDO Ebrahim & Co., Chartered Accountants being eligible have given their consent for reappointment as auditors for the year ending June 30, 2018. The Board of Directors, on the recommendations of the Audit Committee, has reappointed M/s. BDO Ebrahim & Co., Chartered Accountants for the year ending June 30, 2018. Economy review CPI inflation clocked in at 4.16% in FY17, compared to 2.86% in the same period last year. The CPI inflation however remained well under the policy rate, keeping real interest rates positive and allowed the central bank to maintain its policy rate at 5.75% throughout the period under review. The low interest rate environment supported private sector credit expansion which recorded 18% YoY growth. On the trade front, imports surged to USD 53.03 bn in FY17 up 18.67% YoY as compared to USD 44.69 bn in FY16 on account of higher import of machinery (up 37.27% YoY) and petroleum products (up 30.25% YoY). On the other hand, exports failed to mark any recovery, falling 1.63% YoY in FY17 to USD 20.45 bn. Due to expanding trade deficit, up 36.3% in FY17 to USD 32.6 bn, and slowdown in remittances (down 3.08% YoY to USD 19.3 bn in FY17) particularly from Gulf countries, U.K. and USA, the current account deficit has deteriorated to USD 12.1 bn in FY17 from USD 4.9 bn in the same period last year. Due to a widening current account and external debt servicing (USD 4.8 bn for 11MFY17), FX reserves depleted to USD 21.37 bn in FY17, falling by some 8.1% YoY. PKR's stability against the USD however, remained intact during the period, despite USD gaining further strength against major emerging market currencies. During 9MFY17, fiscal deficit swelled to 3.9% of GDP on account of less than expected tax revenues along with higher development & security related expenditures against the annual target of 3.8% of GDP forcing the government to revise the budget deficit target to 4.1% of GDP. Cumulatively in 10MFY17, tax collection increased by only 8% to PKR 2,518.7 bn as compared to PKR 2,332.1 bn in SPLY.

LAKSON INCOME FUND Fixed Income Market Review Headline interest rates remained unchanged at 5.75%/6.25% across FY17 as inflation remained benign at 4.2% YoY even as growth activity accelerated, with LSM up 5.5% YoY (11MFY17) and credit to private sector rising by 18% YoY. However, burgeoning risks on the external front appear to now be weighing on monetary policy; in Nov'16, 4 out of 10 MPC members voted for a 25bps cut but in the May'17 MPS, all committee members unanimously voted to keep interest rates unchanged. In its last communication in Jul'17, the SBP has pointed towards strong likelihood of continued growth momentum, contained inflation (FY18F: 4.5%-5.5%) and challenges on the external front (FY17 Current Account deficit rose to USD 12.1 bn or about 4% of GDP), while again keeping interest rates unchanged.

The government was a heavy borrower from the SBP in FY17 while not tapping commercial banks for financing. This allowed banks space and incentive to lend to the private sector, which was further supported by rising demand and soft interest rates. This growth is broad-based with trade financing and working capital lending also rising up to join the already-visible uptick in long-term fixed investment loans. This is in line with the SBP's outlook that overall growth momentum in the economy will likely be maintained. That said, with Pakistan entering an election year, it is possible that GoP borrowing requirements lift especially if populist decision making takes over. M2 growth clocked in at 13.7% YoY for FY17, at the same pace of growth witnessed in FY16. After the marked shift into PIBs a few years ago, GoP preference is again tilting towards shorter-term T Bills. From a 36% share in Jun'16, PIBs constituted less than 29% of GoP's total domestic debt by Apr'17. This differential has been almost entirely filled up by T Bills which are cheaper for the GoP; in FY17, the 12M T Bill yield averaged 5.96% vs. average yield for 3YR PIB of 6.36% (10YR bond was more than 8%). In FY17, the government raised PKR 9.1 tn through the T-Bills and PKR 894 bn through PIBs. In 4Q, as government focus continued to shift from PIBs to T-Bills with money raised through PIBs decelerated to PKR 115 bn during the quarter compared to PKR 646 bn raised in 1Q. This follows change in thinking in GoP's debt strategy following the IMF program. Date

Future Outlook Progress on CPEC-related projects and rebound in agriculture is expected to take GDP growth to 5.7% in FY18, from 5.3% in FY17. Interest rates appear to have bottomed, and could see some uptick in line with the expected increase in CPI inflation. Widening of twin deficits remains a key concern, where

7

LAKSON INCOME FUND we believe that the long-pending devaluation of the PKR can stimulate falling exports. Likewise, timely disbursements related to the government's exports incentive package could help to generate some much needed foreign exchange. On the import front, curtailments of unnecessary items as well as stable oil prices are a key to keep the trade deficit in check. On the fiscal front, active and honest revenue mobilization will be crucial to meet the government's fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of GDP for FY18. Acknowledgment The Board is thankful to its valued investors, the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the State Bank of Pakistan, the Trustee of the Fund - Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited and the management of the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited for their continued cooperation and support. The Directors of the Management Company also acknowledge the efforts put in by the team of the Management Company for the growth and the prudent management of the Fund.

Fund Objective The investment objective of the Lakson Income Fund ("LIF") is to provide competitive total return through investment in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. Investments will be made in a variegated mix of short term, medium term and longer term maturities depending on the assessment by the Investment Team of interest rate trends and prospective returns.

Investment Strategy The LIF focused on constructing a liquid, diverse and high credit quality portfolio in accordance with its investment objective. Exposure in T-Bills, PIBs, placements, TFCs/Sukuks, MTS and spread transactions was managed based on a relative yield analysis and interest rate outlook. The LIF maintained an average exposure of 52% in cash and 23% in placements in order to maintain liquidity and benefit from the competitive rates on offer. During the period under review, the LIF built exposure to MTS

16

LAKSON INCOME FUND and Spread Transactions where the cumulative average exposure to both asset classes was 7%. Average TFC/Sukuk exposure in FY17 was increased to 11.4%. By the end of FY17 LIF had reduced the Weighted Average Maturity ("WAM") of its portfolio to 166 days and completely exited it PIB positions in order to reduce NAV volatility and interest rate risk.

Fund Profile LIF is an open end income fund which invests in Investment-grade Debt Securities, Government Securities, Certificate of Investments, Clean Placements, Term Deposit Receipts, and other fixed income instruments. The overall duration of the portfolio is kept below 4 years while at least 25% of Net Assets are kept in the form of cash or Treasury Bills of maximum 90 days maturity. LIF is managed through a team-driven, top-down process utilizing active sector rotation, duration and yield curve management. Economic conditions are constantly monitored to forecast interest rate changes. The added value for LIF comes from identifying opportunities to shift investments between various maturities and between different instruments. LIF is allowed to borrow up to 15% of Net Assets to meet redemptions however LIF did not utilize this facility during the period under review.

Sustained economic growth will be dependent on structural reforms and the implementation of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The discount rate is likely to stay low in the coming year giving further impetus to the economy. The textile sector which accounts for a significant portion of the country's exports is likely to suffer from Brexit and a falling Euro and Pound.

On the fiscal front, active and honest revenue mobilization will be crucial to meet the government's fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of GDP for FY18. The LIF have squared its longer tenor exposure as market yields started to rebound on the back of rising interest rates possibilities. In an environment where interest rates seem to have bottomed out and the risk/return profile of taking yield curve risk is unfavorable the Fund will focus on building exposure towards MTS, Spread transactions, quality TFCs/Sukuks and high yielding bank placements.

Circumstances Materially Affecting Interests of Unit Holders During the period under review, the Fund Stability Rating of the LIF was maintained by PACRA at 'A+(f)' which denotes a fund with stable performance generally in line with its peers with adequate capacity to respond to future opportunities or stress situations. PACRA upgraded the Asset manager Rating of Lakson Investments to 'AM2+' during FY17. Any change in interest rates would affect the market values of tradable instruments present in the LIF's portfolio. Any change in counterparty credit ratings can materially affect the interests of unit holders. Such changes could impact the NAV and credit split of the LIF. As of June 30th, 2017 the LIF has maintained provisions against Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 4.60 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LIF would be higher by PKR 0.1279. If the LIF would not have made the SWWF provisions during FY17, the year to date annualized return of the LIF for FY17 would be higher by 0.13%. For details investors are advised to read the Note 14.1 of the latest Financial Statements of the LIF.

Other Disclosures Lakson Investments Limited or any of its delegates did not receive any soft commission from its broker(s) or dealer(s). There was no unit split undertaken during the year. As of June 30, 2017 the LIF does not employ leverage.

Standards or interpretations not yet effective The following new standards and interpretations have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which have not been adopted locally by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan: IFRS 1 IFRS 9 IFRS 14 IFRS 15 IFRS 16

First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards Financial Instruments Regulatory Deferral Accounts Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases

The effects of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments are still being assessed, as this new standard may have a significant effect on the Fund’s future financial statements. The Fund expects that the adoption of the other amendments and interpretations of the standards will not have any material impact and therefore will not affect the Fund's financial statements in the period of initial application. 4

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

4.1

Investments

4.1.1

All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given including the transaction cost associated with the investment, except in case of held for trading investments, in which case the transaction costs are charged to the income statement.

4.1.2

The Fund classifies its investments in the following categories: a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss This category has two sub-categories, namely; financial instruments classified as held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition: i) Investments which are acquired principally for the purposes of generating profit from short term fluctuation in price or are part of the portfolio in which there is recent actual pattern of short term profit taking are classified as held for trading. ii) Investments designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition include those group of financial assets which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the documented investment strategy. After initial recognition, above investments are remeasured at fair value determined with reference to the period-end quoted rates. Gains or losses on re-measurement and sale of these investments are recognised in income statement. b) Available for sale Investments which do not fall under the above categories and which may be sold in response to the need for liquidity or changes in market rates are classified as availablefor-sale. After initial recognition, investments classified as available-for-sale are remeasured at fair value, determined with reference to the year-end quoted rates. Gains or losses

37

LAKSON INCOME FUND on remeasurement of these investments are recognised in the unit holders' funds through other comprehensive income until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposedoff, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in unit holders' funds is included in income. 4.1.3

Basis of valuation of investments Fair value of the investments in Government Securities comprising Treasury Bills and Pakistan Investment Bonds are determined by reference to the quotations obtained from the PKRV rate notified by the Mutual Fund Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) as of the period end. The fair value of term finance certificates is determined on the basis of rates notified by the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) as at the period end. All regular way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date the Fund commits to purchase / sell the investments. Income accrued on Market Treasury Bills are included in the carrying value of investments.

4.2

Receivable against Margin Trading System (MTS) Securities purchased under Margin Trading System are entered into contracted rates for specified rates for specified period of time. Amount paid under these agreements are recognised as receivable in respect of MTS. Cash releases are adjusted against the receivable as reduction in the amount of receivable. The maximum maturity of a MTS contract is 60 days out of which 25% exposure will be automatically released at expiry of every 15th day from the date of contract.

4.3

Securities under resale / repurchase agreements Transactions of purchase under resale (reverse-repo) of marketable and government securities are entered into at contracted rates for specified periods of time. Securities purchased with a corresponding commitment to resell at a specified future date (reverserepos) are not recognised in the statement of assets and liabilities. Amounts paid under these agreements are included in receivable in respect of reverse repurchase transactions. The difference between purchase and resale price is treated as income from reverse repurchase transactions and accrued over the life of the reverse-repo agreement.

4.4

Formation cost This represents expenses incurred on the formation of the Fund. As permitted in the NonBanking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008, these expenses are being amortised to the income statement over a period of five years i.e. effective from November 14, 2009.

4.5

Unit holders' fund Unit holders' fund representing the units issued by the Fund, is carried at the redemption amount representing the investors' right to a residual interest in the Fund's assets.

4.6

Issue and redemption of units Units are allocated at the offer price prevalent on the day on which applications for the purchase of units are received (however units are issued on realisation of cheques). The offer price represents the net assets value of units at end of the day plus the allowable sales load (if any).

38

LAKSON INCOME FUND Units are redeemed at the redemption price prevalent on the day on which the applications for the redemption of units are received. The redemption price represents the net assets value at end of the day. 4.7

Net assets value per unit The net assets value per unit disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities is calculated by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of units in issue at the year end.

4.8

Taxation The Fund is exempt from taxation on income under clause 99 of Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of its income excluding realised and unrealised capital gain for the year is distributed amongst the unit holders.

4.9

Revenue recognition - Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are included in the income on the date at which the transaction takes place. - Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on revaluation of investments classified as held for trading are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. - Interest income on Government Securities, reverse repurchase arrangements, margin trading system, certificates of investment, certificates of deposits, term deposit receipts, commercial paper, placements, bank deposits and investment in other debt securities are recognised in the income statement at rate of return implicit in the instrument on a time proportionate basis.

4.10

Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in the prices of units issued less those in units redeemed To prevent the dilution of per unit income and distribution of income already paid out on redemption, as dividend, an equalisation account called "element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units redeemed" is created. The "element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units redeemed" account is credited / debited with the amount representing net income and capital gains accounted for in the last announced net assets value and included in the sale proceeds of units. Upon redemption of units, the element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units redeemed account is debited with the amount representing net income and capital gains accounted for in the last announced net assets value and included in the redemption price. The net "element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units redeemed" during an accounting year is recognised in the income statement.

4.11

Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the Fund looses control of the contractual rights that comprises that financial assets. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities is taken to income currently.

39

LAKSON INCOME FUND Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value. The particular recognition method adopted for measurement of financial liabilities investments subsequent to initial recognition is disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item. 4.12

Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of assets and liabilities when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and the Fund intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

4.13

Impairment A financial asset is assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial assets is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Provision for diminution in the value of debt securities is made as per the requirements of Circular No. 33 of 2012 dated October 24, 2012 (which is essentially the same as contained in Circular No. 1 of 2009 previously issued by the SECP) and based on management's assessment made in line with its provisioning policy approved by the Board of Directors of the Management Company pursuant to the requirements of the SECP's above referred circular. In case of impairment of other available-for-sale investments, the cumulative loss that has been recognised directly in statement of comprehensive income is taken to the income statement. Other individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in income statement.

4.14

Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired, have been realised or have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.

4.15

Derivatives Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the income statement.

4.16

Provisions A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Fund has a present legal or constructive obligation as result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

11.1

The Management Company is entitled to remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008, of an amount not exceeding 1.5% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Currently, the remuneration of the Management Company has been charged at the rate of 1.5% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The remuneration is paid to the Management Company monthly in arrears.

11.2

The Sindh Provincial Government has levied Sindh Sales Tax at the rate of 13% (till June 30, 2016: 14%) on Management Company's remuneration. Above liability includes Rs. 2,368,285 (June 30, 2016: Rs. 2,368,285) accrued on Federal Excise Duty (FED) charged on the management remuneration as more fully explained in note 11.3 below. Had the provision relating to FED not been made, Net Asset Value per unit of the Fund as at June 30, 2017 would have been higher by Re. 0.0658 (June 30, 2016: Re. 0.0822) per unit.

11.3

The amount is being held for payment to asset management company for onward payment to Federal Board of Revenue on the basis of a stay order of the Honorable High Court of Sindh dated September 04, 2013. The stay order was granted as a result of a petition filed by asset management companies from the platform of MUFAP against the amendment in Finance Act, 2013 which levied FED on the fees received by asset management companies from funds under management. As the asset management services rendered by the Management Company of the Fund is already subject to provincial sales tax on services levied by the Sindh Revenue Board, which is being charged to the Fund, the Management Company is of the view that further levy of FED is not justified. The Sindh High Court in its decision dated July 16, 2016 maintained the previous order passed against other constitutional petition whereby levy of FED has been declared to be ‘Ultra Vires’ to the Constitution. On September 23, 2016, the Federal Government has filed an appeal against the said SHC order in the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) and thus the previous balance of FED has not been reversed. Therefore, as a matter of prudence and abundant caution, without prejudice to the above, the Management Company has made a provision with effect from June 13, 2013, aggregating to Rs. 16.177 million (June 30, 2016: Rs. 16.177 million). Had the provision on FED not been made, Net Asset Value per unit of the Fund as at June 30, 2017 would have been higher by Re. 0.45 (June 30, 2016: Re. 0.56). Further, the Federal Government vide Finance Act 2016 has excluded asset management companies and other non-banking finance companies from levy of FED on their services. Accordingly, no provision for FED is made from July 01, 2016 onwards.

12

REMUNERATION PAYABLE TO THE TRUSTEE The Trustee is entitled to a monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provision of Trust Deed.

The Finance Act, 2008 had introduced an amendment to the Workers' Welfare Fund Ordinance, 1971 (WWF Ordinance) as a result of which it was construed that all Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) / mutual funds whose income exceeded Rs 0.5 million in a tax year were brought within the scope of the WWF Ordinance, thus rendering them liable to pay contribution to WWF at the rate of two percent of their accounting or taxable income, whichever was higher. In light of this, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) filed a constitutional petition in the Honorable Sindh High Court challenging the applicability of WWF on CISs which is pending adjudication. Similar cases were disposed of by the Peshawar and the Lahore High Courts in which these amendments were declared unlawful and unconstitutional. However, these decisions were challenged in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Subsequently, the Finance Act, 2015 introduced an amendment under which CISs / mutual funds have been excluded from the definition of “industrial establishment” subject to WWF under the WWF Ordinance. Consequently, mutual funds are not subject to this levy after the introduction of this amendment which is applicable from Tax Year 2016. Accordingly, no further provision in respect of WWF was made with effect from July 1, 2015.

47

LAKSON INCOME FUND On November 10, 2016 the Supreme Court of Pakistan had passed a judgment declaring the amendments made in the Finance Acts 2006 and 2008 pertaining to WWF as illegal citing that WWF was not in the nature of tax and could, therefore, not have been introduced through money bills. Accordingly, the aforesaid amendments have been struck down by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The Federal Board of Revenue has filed a petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan against the said judgment, which is pending hearing. While the petitions filed by the CISs on the matter are still pending before the Sindh High Court, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) (collectively on behalf of the asset management companies and their CISs) has taken legal and tax opinions on the impact of the Supreme Court of Pakistan judgement on the CISs petition before the Sindh High Court. Both legal and tax advisors consulted were of the view that the judgment has removed the very basis on which the demands were raised against the CISs. Therefore, there was no longer any liability against the CISs under the WWF Ordinance and that all cases pending in the Sindh High Court or lower appellate forums will now be disposed of in light of the earlier judgement of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Furthermore, as a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs. 0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on behalf of various asset management companies (including the Management Company of the Fund) whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments regarding the applicability of WWF and SWWF on CISs / mutual funds. MUFAP has recommended the following to all its members on January 12, 2017: - based on legal opinion, the entire provision against WWF held by the CISs till June 30, 2015, to be reversed on January 12, 2017; and - the provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015) on January 12, 2017. However, the management considered it prudent to provide for SWWF from the time it becomes applicable under law (i.e. w.e.f. July 01, 2014). Accordingly, the provision for SWWF is being made on a daily basis going forward. The above decisions were communicated to the SECP and the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited on January 12, 2017 and the SECP vide its letter dated February 1, 2017 has advised MUFAP that the adjustments relating to the above should be prospective and supported by adequate disclosures in the financial statements of the CISs/ mutual funds. Accordingly, the Fund has recorded these adjustments in its books on January 12, 2017. Provision for SWWF as of June 30, 2017 amounted to Rs 4.603 million. Had the provision not been made the net assets value per unit of the Fund as at June 30, 2017 would have been higher by Re 0.1279 per unit.

TAXATION The Fund is exempt from taxation under clause 99 of the Part I of the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, subject to the condition that not less than 90% of its accounting income for the year as reduced by capital gains whether realised or unrealised is distributed amongst the unit holders, provided that for the purpose of determining distribution of not less than 90% of its accounting income for the year, the income distributed through bonus units shall not be taken into account. Furthermore, as per regulation 63 of the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008, the Fund is required to distribute 90% of the net accounting income other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The management has distributed at least 90% of the income earned during the year by the Fund to the unit holders. The Fund has received an order dated March 27, 2014 under section 122(1) of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, whereby the Federal Board of Revenue has raised a demand of Rs. 49.545 million (including Workers' Welfare Fund liability of Rs. 2.729 million). This demand has been on the basis of their view that distribution of bonus units should not be included in the calculation of 90% of the declared profit required to claim exemption from tax. Accordingly, they are of the view that since minimum required dividend of 90% of the relevant profit has not been distributed, the Fund is liable to tax as mentioned above. The Management Company has filed an appeal before the CIR (Appeals) on the said issue which has been decided in favour of the Fund. During the year, the Department challenged the order passed by CIR (Appeals) in the Appellate Tribunal, Inland Revenue, Karachi and the same has been decided in the favour of the Fund.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Introduction and overview The Fund has exposure to following risks from its use of financial instruments: -

Credit risk Liquidity risk Market risk Operational risk

This disclosure presents information about the Fund’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Fund's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Fund’s management of capital. Risk management framework The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unit holders’ value. Risk is inherent in the Fund’s activities, but it is managed through monitoring and controlling activities which are primarily set up based on limits established by the Management Company, Fund's constitutive documents and the regulations and directives of the SECP. These limits reflect the business strategy and market environment of the Fund as well as the level of the risk that Fund is willing to accept. The Board of Directors of the Management Company supervises the overall risk management approach within the Fund. 22.1

Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Fund, resulting in a financial loss to the Fund. At the year-end it arises principally from debt securities held, bank balances and mark-up / return receivable, etc. Management of credit risk The Fund's policy is to enter into financial contracts in accordance with the investment guidelines approved by the Investment Committee, its Trust Deed, the requirements of NBFC rules and regulations and guidelines given by SECP from time to time.

54

LAKSON INCOME FUND Credit risk is managed and controlled by the management company of the Fund in the following manner: - Where the investment committee makes an investment decision, the credit rating and credit worthiness of the issuer is taken into account along with the financial background so as to minimise the risk of default. - Analysing credit ratings and obtaining adequate collaterals wherever appropriate / relevant. - The risk of counterparty exposure due to failed trades causing a loss to the Fund is mitigated by a periodic review of the credit ratings and financial statements on a regular basis. - Cash is held only with reputable banks with minimum long term credit rating of A+. Exposure to credit risk In summary, compared to the maximum amount included in Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the maximum exposure to credit risk at year end was as follows:

Bank balances including profit receivables Investments including profit receivables Margin Trading System including profit receivables Loans and receivables including profit receivables Deposits and other receivables

Difference in the balances as per the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and maximum exposure in investments is due to the fact that investments [including mark-up thereon nil (2016: Rs. 1.601 million)] of Rs. 99.575 million (2016: Rs. 107.880 million) relates to investments in Government Securities which are not considered to carry credit risk. Past due / impaired assets None of the financial assets of the Fund are past due or impaired as at year end. Credit ratings and Collaterals Credit risk arising on debt securities is mitigated by investing primarily in investment-grade rated instruments. In case of debt securities the minimum rating of the instrument has to be A- while the entity's rating has to be BBB+. Further credit risk arising from bank balances is mitigated through deposits held with banks which are rated BBB+ or above. The Fund

Concentration of credit risk Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic or industry factors affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Fund’s total credit exposure. Around 2.81% (2016: 4.05%) of the Fund's financial assets are in Government securities which are not exposed to the credit risk, while the remaining portfolio of financial assets is broadly diversified and transactions are entered into with diverse credit-worthy counterparties thereby mitigating any significant concentrations of credit risk.

Settlement risk The Fund’s activities may give rise to risk at the time of settlement of transactions. Settlement risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of an entity to honour its obligations to deliver cash, securities or other assets as contractually agreed.

56

LAKSON INCOME FUND For the vast majority of transactions the Fund mitigates this risk by conducting settlements through a broker to ensure that a trade is settled only when both parties have fulfilled their contractual settlement obligations. 22.2

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations arising from its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset, or that such obligations will have to be settled in a manner disadvantageous to the Fund. The Fund is exposed to cash redemptions of its units on a regular basis. Units are redeemable at the holder's option based on the Fund’s net asset value per unit at the time of redemption calculated in accordance with the Fund’s constitutive document and guidelines laid down by Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). Management of liquidity risk The Fund's policy is to manage this risk by investing majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed. The Fund invests primarily in marketable debt securities and other financial instruments, which under normal market conditions are readily convertible to cash. As a result, the Fund may be able to liquidate quickly its investments in these instruments at an amount close to their fair value to meet its liquidity requirement. The Fund has the ability to borrow, with prior approval of trustee, for meeting redemption requests. The maximum amount available to the Fund from borrowings is limited to the extent of 15% of total assets at the time of borrowing with repayment with in 90 days of such borrowings. No such borrowings were made during the year. In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund also has the option to withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. However, during the year no such option was exercised or considered necessary. Maturity analysis for financial liabilities The table below analyses the Fund's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date and represents the undiscounted cash flows.

Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads (not relating to changes in the obligor’s / issuer’s credit standing) will effect the Fund’s income or the fair value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk. Management of market risks The Management Company manages market risk by monitoring exposure on marketable securities by following the internal risk management policies and investment guidelines approved by the Investment Committee and regulations laid down by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments equals their fair values. Market risk comprise of three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.

22.3.1

Interest rate risk

22.3.1.1

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Currently the Funds interest rate exposure arises on investment in Government securities, debt securities, term deposit receipts with banks and bank balances in profit and loss sharing account. Currently majority of the Fund's investment carry fixed interest rates, except for certain debt securities. The Management Company monitors the interest rate environment on a regular basis and may change the mix of its portfolio to enhance the earning potential of the Fund subject to the above defined guidelines. Other risk management procedures are the same as those mentioned in the credit risk management.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments Interest bearing Government securities of Rs. 99.575 million (June 2016: Rs. 106.279 million) are held by the Fund at fair value through profit or loss (held for trading) and exposes the Fund to the fair value risk. In case of 100 basis points increase / decrease in yield rates of the above Government Securities during the year, the net assets of the Fund would have been lower / higher by Rs. 0.995 (2016: Rs. 1.063) million with corresponding effect on net income for the year. Other balances are not carried at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore a change in interest rate during the year would not effect the income statement and unit holder's fund. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the year end, unit holder fund would have increased / (decreased) by Rs. 3.704 (2016: Rs. 3.395) million. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. 22.3.1.3

None of the Fund's financial liability is exposed to interest rate risk.

22.3.2

Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund, at present, is not exposed to currency risk as all transactions are carried out in Pak Rupees.

22.3.3

Other price risk Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of change in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. The Fund is expecting minimal price fluctuation on its investment in debt securities (i.e. Government securities and listed term finance certificates) for change in factors other than those arising from interest rate or currency risk.

22.4

Operational risks Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the processes, technology and infrastructure supporting the Fund’s operations either internally within the Fund or externally at the Fund’s service providers, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of investment management behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Fund’s activities. The Fund’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance limiting of financial losses and damage to its reputation with achieving its investment objective of generating returns for investors. The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls over operational risk rests with the Board of Directors of the Management Company. This responsibility encompasses the controls in the following areas: - requirements for appropriate segregation of duties between various functions, roles and responsibilities; - requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions; - compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements; - documentation of controls and procedures;

60

LAKSON INCOME FUND - requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified; - ethical and business standards; - risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective. 22.5

Unit Holders' Fund risk management Management's objective when managing unit holders' funds is to safeguard the Fund's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide optimum returns to its unit holders' and to ensure reasonable safety of unit holders' funds. The Fund manages its investment portfolio and other assets by monitoring return on net assets and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in markets' conditions. The capital structure depends on the issuance and redemption of units and with effect from July 1, 2013 the Fund is subject to maintain minimum fund size of Rs. 100 million at all times.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund’s accounting policy on fair value measurements of the investments is discussed in note 4.1 to these financial statements. Underlying the definition of fair value is the presumption that the Asset Management Company is a going concern without any intention or requirement to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets i.e. listed equity shares are based on the quoted market prices at the close of trading on the period end date. The quoted market prices used for financial assets held by the company is current bid price. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

62

LAKSON INCOME FUND IFRS 13, 'Fair Value Measurements' requires the Fund to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used 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 (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2); and - Inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
