3 MANAGEMENT REPORT OF FUND PERFORMANCE This annual management report of fund performance for Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF ( Horizons HED or the ETF ) contains financial highlights and is included with the audited annual financial statements for the investment fund. You may request a copy of the investment fund s unaudited interim or audited annual financial statements, interim or annual management report of fund performance, current proxy voting policies and procedures, proxy voting disclosure record or quarterly portfolio disclosures, at no cost, by calling (toll free) , or (416) , by writing to Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. ( Horizons Management or the Manager, formerly BetaPro Management Inc.), at 26 Wellington Street East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, M5E 1S2, by visiting our website at or through SEDAR at This document may contain forward-looking statements relating to anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance, or expectations that are not historical facts but instead represent our beliefs regarding future events. By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that predictions and other forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. We caution readers of this document not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from management expectations as projected in such forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to market and general economic conditions, interest rates, regulatory and statutory developments, the effects of competition in the geographic and business areas in which the ETF may invest and the risks detailed from time to time in the ETF s simplified prospectus. We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive, and that when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to investing in the ETF, investors and others should carefully consider these factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements. Due to the potential impact of these factors, the Manager does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable law. Management Discussion of Fund Performance Investment Objective and Strategy The Horizons HED seeks daily investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, that endeavour to correspond to two times (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index (the Underlying Index ). If the Horizons HED is successful in meeting its investment objective, its net asset value should gain approximately twice as much, on a percentage basis, as any decrease in the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index when the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index declines on a given day. Conversely, the Horizons HED s net asset value should lose approximately twice as much, on a percentage basis, as any increase in the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index when the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index rises on a given day. The Horizons HED invests in financial instruments that have similar daily return characteristics as two times (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index. In order to achieve this objective, the total underlying notional value of these instruments will typically not exceed two times the total assets of the ETF. As such, the Horizons HED employs leverage. Assets not invested in financial instruments may be invested in debt instruments or money market instruments with a term not to exceed 365 days, or reverse repurchase agreements with a term not to exceed 30 days. Value of the Underlying Index The Horizons HED typically uses the price of the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index as determined at approximately 4:00 p.m. (EST) as the reference for its daily investment objective. 1

4 Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued) Risk The ETF is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. The ETF uses leverage, and is riskier than funds that do not. The ETF does not and should not be expected to return twice the inverse return of the Underlying Index over any period of time other than daily. Investors should monitor their investment in the ETF as often as daily. The ETF s returns over periods longer than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the inverse performance of the Underlying Index for the same period. This effect becomes more pronounced as the volatility of the Underlying Index increases. Investments in the units of the ETF are speculative, involve a high degree of risk and are suitable only for persons who are able to assume the risk of losing their entire investment. The Manager, as a summary for existing investors, is providing the list below of the risks to which an investment in the ETF may be subject. Prospective investors should read the ETF s most recent prospectus and consider the full description of the risks contained therein before subscribing for units. The risks to which an investment in the ETF is subject are listed below and have not changed from the list of risks found in the ETF s most recent prospectus. A full description of each risk listed below may also be found in the most recent prospectus. The most recent prospectus is available at or from or by calling Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. at (toll free) , or at (416) Long term performance risk Concentration risk Corresponding net asset value risk Market risk Regulatory risk No assurance of meeting investment objective Tax risk No assurance of continued participation Reverse repurchase transaction risk Exchange risk Borrowing risk Foreign exchange risk Securities lending risk Exchange rate risk Changes to the Underlying Index Leverage risk Price volatility risk Aggressive investment technique risk Trading in derivatives is highly leveraged Counterparty risk Inverse correlation risk Liquidity risk Early closing risk Equity risk Conflicts of interest Liability of unitholders Reliance on the Manager and the Investment Manager Designated broker/dealer risk The degree of the price volatility risk will vary from year to year depending on the volatility of the Underlying Index. Please refer to the Results of Operations section for further discussion on the impact of price volatility on the performance of the ETF relative to its Underlying Index. 2

5 Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued) Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF Results of Operations The net asset value per security of the ETF increased by 9.48% from January 1, 2011 to December 31, This compares to a decrease of the compounded value of 16.83% for the Underlying Index over the same period. The above figures are adjusted for distributions. This ETF does not seek to meet its investment objective over any period other than daily, as the ETF is rebalanced daily to ensure an investor s risk is limited to the current value of their investment. The ETF s returns over periods longer than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the inverse performance of the Underlying Index for the same period. This effect becomes more pronounced as the volatility of the Underlying Index increases. The S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index TM is comprised of stocks from the Canadian Energy Sector. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the top performers in the index were Trilogy Energy Corp., Birchcliff Energy Ltd. and Paramount Resources Ltd., gaining %, 42.56% and 34.15%, respectively. The worst performers in the index for the year were Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd., Niko Resources Ltd. and Petrominerales Ltd., returning %, % and %, respectively. The daily correlation of the ETF to its stated Underlying Index since inception was A perfect daily correlation of 200% of the daily inverse return of the Underlying Index would be a correlation of 1.0. While the objective of the ETF is to seek daily investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, that endeavour to correspond to two times (200%) the daily inverse performance of the Underlying Index, when performance is measured over periods other than daily, the ETF may experience greater volatility than the Underlying Index or the securities comprising the Underlying Index due to the compounding effect inherent in seeking a multiple of the Underlying Index, and thus has the potential for greater losses. When comparing the returns of the ETF and the Underlying Index over any period other than daily, the volatility of the Underlying Index is a significant factor as a result of the rebalancing process. The following table illustrates the impact of two factors, benchmark volatility and benchmark performance, on a leveraged fund s period performance. The table shows estimated fund returns for a number of combinations of benchmark performance and benchmark volatility over a one year period. Assumptions used in the table include: a) no ETF expenses and b) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leverage) of zero percent. If the ETF s expenses were included, the ETF s performance would be lower than shown. One Year -200% One Year Benchmark Benchmark Benchmark Volatility Performance Performance 0% 25% 50% 75% -40% 80% 177.8% 130.3% 31.2% -48.6% -20% 40% 56.3% 29.5% -26.2% -71.1% 0% 0% 0.0% -17.1% -52.8% -81.5% 20% -40% -30.6% -42.4% -67.2% -87.2% 40% -80% -49.0% -57.7% -75.9% -90.6% Per the above, it can be concluded that for any given benchmark return, increased volatility will negatively impact the relative period performance of the ETF to the Underlying Index. 3

6 Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued) Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF 4 The annualized volatility of each of the Underlying Index and the ETF was 28.81% and 56.91%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, The ETF may, at times, have very large purchase and redemption activity. However, the performance of the ETF is primarily affected by the performance of its forward agreement, which is rebalanced daily and is tied to the performance of the ETF s Underlying Index. The performance and liquidity of the ETF is unaffected by the asset size of the ETF, purchases or redemptions as these transactions are taken into account during the daily rebalancing of the forward agreement. Leverage The ETF measures leverage in terms of the total underlying notional value of the securities and/or financial derivative positions as a ratio of the total assets held by such ETF. The ETF, unlike a mutual fund that is not subject to National Instrument ( NI ), is permitted by NI to lever its assets: that is, the aggregate underlying market exposure of all derivatives held by the ETF calculated on a daily mark-to-market basis can exceed the ETF s cash and cash equivalents, including cash held as margin on deposit to support the ETF s derivatives trading activities. The ETF will generally not use leverage in excess of 2.0 times its net asset value. If the ETF uses leverage in excess of 2.0 times its net asset value, it shall generally reduce its leverage to 2.0 times its net asset value within 10 business days. Leverage is achieved primarily through swap and forward agreements. Under the forward agreement (the Forward Agreement ), the counterparty (the Counterparty ), which must be a Canadian chartered bank or an affiliate of a Canadian chartered bank whose obligations are guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank, agrees to pay to the ETF, in exchange for a basket of equity securities, an amount that is determined in reference to the performance of the ETF s Underlying Index, at a predetermined future date. The Counterparty must have a credit rating no lower than (a) Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited ( DBRS ) R-1(low) rating for Commercial Paper/Short-Term Debt and A for Long-Term Debt; (b) Fitch Ratings F1 rating for Commercial Paper/Short-Term Debt and A for Long-Term Debt; (c) Moody s Investors Service P-1 rating for Commercial Paper/Short- Term Debt and A2 for Long-Term Debt; or (d) Standard & Poor s A-1(low) rating for Commercial Paper/Short-Term Debt and A for Long-Term Debt. The credit rating of the Counterparty, National Bank of Canada, as at the end of the reporting period was DBRS R-1(middle) and AA(low) for the short-term and long-term debt ratings, respectively. Since the Forward Agreement, like most forward agreements, may settle the obligations of each party on a net basis, the exposure of the ETF to the credit risk of the Counterparty is limited to the positive mark-to-market of the Forward Agreement, which is calculated and accrued on a daily basis. The minimum and maximum leverage range for the ETF was between 1.62:1 and 2.31:1. Maximum and minimum leverage factors are not adjusted for capital stock activity. Leverage was adjusted daily to be within limits set out in the prospectus. At the end of the reporting period, leverage was 2.06:1, which represented approximately 206% of the ETF s net assets. Recent Developments There have been no recent market developments of particular note, aside from the normal fluctuations of the markets, that are expected to have an undue influence on the portfolio of the ETF when compared to its benchmark. Change of Control of Manager On November 14, 2011, the Manager announced that Mirae Asset Global Investments Co., Ltd. ( Mirae Asset ) had completed its acquisition and become the majority shareholder of Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc., including its subsidiaries AlphaPro Management Inc. and Horizons Investment Management Inc. ( Horizons Investment or the Investment

7 Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued) Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF Manager, formerly JovInvestment Management Inc.). Mirae Asset acquired a majority stake in Horizons Management, including the entire stake owned by Jovian Capital Corporation ( Jovian ), as announced on July 15, The management teams of the Manager and Investment Manager have remained substantially unchanged. Harmonized Sales Tax Effective July 1, 2010, the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia have implemented their previously announced plan to harmonize their existing provincial sales tax with the federal goods and services tax ( GST ). Investment funds, such as the ETF, are subject to the new harmonized tax and are required to pay the harmonized sales tax on expenses such as management fees and other operating expenses, rather than the previously imposed 5% GST. This resulted in an increase in costs borne by the ETF. Future Accounting Standards Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (the AcSB ) originally confirmed January 1, 2011 as the date IFRS would replace current Canadian standards and interpretations as Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises such as investment funds and other reporting issuers. The AcSB then announced in December 2011 that the implementation of IFRS for investment funds be postponed and instead be adopted for all fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, The Canadian Securities Administrators (the CSA ) has issued CSA Staff Notice , which requires the Manager to provide progress updates on the changeover plan to the new reporting standards at each interim and annual reporting period up until the changeover date. For the ETF, IFRS will be effective for the interim and annual periods starting January 1, 2014, including the preparation and reporting of one year of comparative figures. In order to prepare for the transition to IFRS, the Manager has developed an implementation plan and has commenced assessing the impact of significant accounting differences between IFRS and Canadian GAAP. The Manager has presently determined that there will be no material impact to the net asset value per unit from the changeover to IFRS as it is currently drafted. The impact of IFRS on accounting policies and implementation decisions will mainly be in the areas of presentation and additional note disclosures in the financial statements of the ETF. Further updates on implementation progress and potential reporting impact from the adoption of IFRS will be provided during the implementation period. The Manager s current assessment is subject to change resulting from the issuance of new standards or new interpretations of existing standards. Related Party Transactions There were no related party portfolio transactions during the current reporting period. Certain services have been provided to the ETF by related parties, and those relationships are described below. See also, Recent Developments, Change of Control of Manager. Manager, Trustee and Investment Manager The manager and trustee of the ETF is Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc., 26 Wellington Street East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, M5E 1S2, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario. For a complete description of services provided, please refer to the most recent prospectus of the ETF Duties and Services to be Provided by the Manager. 5

8 Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued) Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF The Manager has appointed Horizons Investment Management Inc., 26 Wellington Street East, Suite 608, Toronto, Ontario, M5E 1S2, as the investment manager. Horizons Investment is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager. As described in Recent Developments, the Change of Control of Manager resulted in a change in (direct or indirect) control of the Manager and Investment Manager from Jovian to Mirae Asset. Related Dealers MGI Securities Inc., a Jovian controlled dealer through whom securities of the ETF may be purchased, is no longer related to the Manager as a result of the Change of Control of Manager, as described in Recent Developements. Prior to this change, MGI Securities Inc. may have at times had interests that differed from the interests of the unitholders of the ETF. MGI Securities Inc. may have acted as a dealer of the ETF from time to time. National Bank of Canada Relationship While not a related party to the ETF, an affiliate of the Counterparty to the Forward Agreement and National Bank Financial Inc. ( NBF ) holds an indirect minority interest in AlphaPro Management Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager. Another affiliate of the Counterparty, NBF, acts or may act as a designated broker, an underwriter and/or a registered trader (market maker). These relationships may create actual or perceived conflicts of interest which investors should consider in relation to an investment in the ETF. In particular, by virtue of these relationships, NBF may profit from the sale and trading of the ETF s units. NBF, as market maker of the ETF in the secondary market, may therefore have economic interests which differ from and may be adverse to those of the ETF s unitholders. NBF s potential roles as a designated broker and a dealer of the ETF is not as an underwriter of the ETF in connection with the primary distribution of units under the ETF s prospectus. NBF was not involved in the preparation of, nor did it perform any review of, the contents of the ETF s prospectus. NBF and its affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with the ETF, the issuers of securities making up the investment portfolio of the ETF, or with the Manager or any funds sponsored by the Manager or its affiliates, including by making loans, entering into derivative transactions or providing advisory or agency services. In addition, the relationship between NBF and its affiliates, and the Manager and its affiliates may extend to other activities, such as being part of a distribution syndicate for other funds sponsored by the Manager or its affiliates. 6

9 Financial Highlights The following tables show selected key financial information about the ETF and are intended to help you understand the ETF s financial performance since inception on June 18, This information is derived from the ETF s annual audited financial statements. Please see the front page for information on how you may obtain the ETF s annual or interim financial statements. The ETF s Net Assets per Unit Year Net assets, beginning of year (1) $ 4.14 $ 5.73 $ $ $ Increase (decrease) from operations Total revenue Total expenses (0.06) (0.08) (0.11) (0.20) (0.15) Realized gain (loss) for the year (2.58) (2.26) (1.33) Unrealized gain (loss) for the year (5.54) Total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations (3) 0.35 (0.90) (6.97) Total distributions (4) Net assets, end of year (2) (5) $ 4.53 $ 4.14 $ 5.73 $ $ (1) This information is derived from the ETF s audited annual financial statements as at December 31 of the years shown. The inception date of the ETF was June 18, (2) Differences may result in the fair valuation of securities held by the ETF for financial reporting purposes under Canadian GAAP versus the market value used to determine the net asset value of the ETF for the purchase and redemption of the ETF s units. As a result, the net assets per unit presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset value per unit presented in these Financial Highlights. (3) Net assets per unit and distributions are based on the actual number of units outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations is based on the weighted average number of units outstanding over the financial period. (4) Distributions, if any, were paid in cash, reinvested in additional units of the ETF, or both. (5) The Financial Highlights are not intended to act as a continuity of the opening and closing net assets per unit. 7

The inception date of the ETF was June 18, (2) Differences may result in the fair valuation of securities held by the ETF for financial reporting purposes under Canadian GAAP versus the market value used to determine the net asset value of the ETF for the purchase and redemption of the ETF s units. As a result, the net assets per unit presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset value per unit presented in these Financial Highlights. (3) Management expense ratio is based on total expenses (excluding commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the year. Out of its management fees, the Manager pays for such services to the ETF as portfolio advisor compensation, administration, service fees and marketing. The Manager, at its discretion, waived and/or absorbed a portion of the fees and/or expenses otherwise payable by the ETF. The waiving and/or absorption of such fees and/or expenses by the Manager may be terminated at any time, or continued indefinitely, at the discretion of the Manager. (4) The ETF s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the ETF s portfolio manager trades its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the ETF buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of a year. The higher an ETF s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high turnover rate and the performance of an ETF. (5) The trading expense ratio represents total commissions, forward agreement fees and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the year. Management Fees In consideration for management services and investment advice provided to the ETF, the Manager is entitled to a management fee. The management fee, inclusive of sales tax, is applied on a daily basis to the net asset value of the ETF. The management fees, exclusive of sales tax, are charged at 1.15%. Approximately 100% of management fees were used for investment management, other general administration and profit. From the management fee, the Manager has paid substantially all of the costs and expenses relating to the operation of the business and affairs of the ETF including investment management, administration, legal, accounting, custody, audit, registrar and transfer agency fees, and applicable sales taxes as well as expenses associated with advertising, marketing, sponsoring and promoting the sale of units of the ETF. The ETF, and not the Manager, is responsible for all brokerage expenses and commissions, income taxes, sales tax, costs associated with the Independent Review Committee of the ETF, filing fees, fees payable to the CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., annual stock exchange fees, annual index licensing fees, if applicable, withholding taxes and extraordinary expenses. The Manager, at its discretion, may waive and/or absorb a portion of the fees and/or expenses otherwise payable by the ETF. The waiving and/or absorption of such fees and/or expenses by the Manager may be terminated at any time, or continued indefinitely, at the discretion of the Manager. 8

11 Financial Highlights (continued) The table below details, in percentage terms, the services received by the ETF, from the Manager, in consideration of the management fees paid during the year. Portfolio management fees, Marketing general administrative costs and profit Waived/absorbed expenses of the ETF 10% 59% 31% Past Performance Sales commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in the ETF. Please read the prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any investor that would have reduced returns. An investment in the ETF is not guaranteed. Its value changes frequently and past performance may not be repeated. The ETF s performance numbers assume that all distributions are reinvested in additional units of the ETF. If you hold this ETF outside of a registered plan, income and capital gains distributions that are paid to you increase your income for tax purposes whether paid to you in cash or reinvested in additional units. The amount of the reinvested taxable distributions is added to the adjusted cost base of the units that you own. This would decrease your capital gain or increase your capital loss when you later redeem from the ETF, thereby ensuring that you are not taxed on this amount again. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your personal tax situation. Year-by-Year Returns The following chart shows the ETF s performance for the year(s) shown, and illustrates how the performance has changed from year to year (where more than one year may be presented). In percentage terms, the chart shows how much an investment made on the first day of each financial period (or, on the inception date, as the case may be) would have grown or decreased by the last day of that financial period % 7.80% 9.48% Rate of Return 0.00% % % % % % % Date of inception was June 18,

The ETF s returns over periods longer than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the inverse performance of the Underlying Index for the same period. This effect becomes more pronounced as the volatility of the Underlying Index increases.

15 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Unitholders of Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF (the ETF ) We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the ETF, which comprise the statements of net assets as at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the statements of operations and changes in net assets for the years then ended, the statement of investment portfolio as at December 31, 2011, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform an 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 our 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, we consider internal control relevant to the entity 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 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 in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

20 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ETF AND AUTHORIZED SECURITIES The Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX Capped Energy Bear Plus ETF ( Horizons HED or the ETF ) was established on June 18, 2007 in accordance with the ETF s Master Declaration of Trust. Units of the ETF are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ( TSX ) under the symbol HED. Legal structure Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. (the Manager or the Trustee, formerly BetaPro Management Inc.) is the manager and trustee of the ETF. The ETF is an unincorporated open-ended mutual fund trust. The ETF is established under the laws of the Province of Ontario by a Master Declaration of Trust. The Manager has appointed Horizons Investment Management Inc. ( Horizons Investment or the Investment Manager, formerly JovInvestment Management Inc.), an affiliate of the Manager, to act as the investment manager to the ETF, and ProShare Advisors LLC (the Portfolio Manager ), to act as the portfolio manager. Change of Control of Manager On November 14, 2011, the Manager announced that Mirae Asset Global Investments Co., Ltd. ( Mirae Asset ) had completed its acquisition and become the majority shareholder of Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc., including its subsidiaries AlphaPro Management Inc. and Horizons Investment. Mirae Asset acquired a majority stake in the Manager, including the entire stake owned by Jovian Capital Corporation ( Jovian ), as announced on July 15, The management teams of the Manager and Investment Manager have remained substantially unchanged. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Generally Accepted Accounting Principles These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the ETF in the preparation of these financial statements. (a) Investments Investments are valued at fair value as of the close of business on the relevant business day and valued based on external pricing sources to the extent possible. When available, fair values, which are determined by closing bid prices for securities owned and closing ask prices for securities sold short, will be obtained from broker-dealers and exchanges; however, such prices may be adjusted if a more accurate value can be obtained from recent trading activity or by incorporating other relevant information that may not have been reflected in pricing obtained from external sources. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. See also Summary of Fair Value Measurements section of note 2. (b) Transaction costs Portfolio transaction costs are expensed and are included in Transaction costs in the Statement of Operations. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of an investment, which include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers, fees incurred in conjunction with the ETF s forward agreement, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges. (c) Derivative financial instruments 18 Derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts are valued on each valuation date ( Valuation Date ) according to the gain or loss that would be realized if the contracts were closed out. Margin, if any consisting of assets other than

21 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and 2010 (continued) cash, is noted in the statement of investment portfolio. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the statement of net assets date at their respective fair values. (d) Fair values of financial instruments Investments are valued at fair value (note 2 (a)). The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. (e) Investment transactions and income Investment transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated on an average cost basis. The difference between market value and average cost, as recorded in the financial statements, is included in the statement of operations as part of change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Interest income is accrued daily and dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Income from securities lending, if any, is included in securities lending revenue on the statement of operations and is recognized when earned. Any securities on loan continue to be displayed in the statement of investment portfolio and the market value of the securities loaned and collateral held is determined daily (note 9). (f) Cost basis The cost of portfolio investments is determined on an average cost basis. (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and short-term, interest bearing investments with a term to maturity of less than 90 days from the date of acquisition. (h) Net assets per security Net assets per security is computed by dividing the net assets of the ETF at the Valuation Date by the total number of securities outstanding in the ETF. (i) Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations per security The increase (decrease) in net assets from operations per security in the statement of operations represents the change in net assets from operations divided by the average number of securities outstanding during the year. Interest income, management fees, and realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) are distributed in proportion to the securities invested in the ETF. (j) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SUMMARY OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Below is a classification of fair value measurements of the ETF s investments based on a three level fair value hierarchy and a reconciliation of transactions and transfers within that hierarchy. The hierarchy of fair valuation inputs is summarized as follows: Level 1: securities that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. 19

22 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and 2010 (continued) Level 2: securities that are valued based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly as prices or indirectly as derived from prices. Level 3: securities that are valued with no observable market data. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers into or out of an investment s assigned level. The following is a summary of the inputs used as at December 31, 2011 and 2010 in valuing the ETF s investments and derivatives carried at fair values: December 31, 2011 December 31, 2010 Level 1 ($) Level 2 ($) Level 3 ($) Level 1 ($) Level 2 ($) Level 3 ($) Common shares 6,026,771 20,328,226 Total Investments in Securities 6,026,771 20,328,226 Derivative assets / (liabilities) 2,231,767 (8,247,963) Total Investment Portfolio 6,026,771 2,231,767 20,328,226 (8,247,963) There were no significant transfers made between Levels 1 and 2 as a result of changes in the availability of quoted market prices or observable market inputs during the year. In addition, there were no investments or transactions classified in Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and NET ASSET VALUE VS NET ASSETS RECONCILIATION National Instrument ( NI ) permits investment funds to have two different net asset values: (i) one for financial statements, which is prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP (and referred to as net assets ); and (ii) another for all other purposes, including unit pricing for investor transactions (referred to as net asset value ). For financial statement reporting purposes, the ETF is required to disclose the differences between net assets per unit and net asset value per unit, including any differences in valuation principles or practices for the purposes of calculating net asset value versus those required under Canadian GAAP. For investments that are traded in an active market where quoted prices are readily and regularly available, Canadian GAAP requires bid prices (for investments held) and ask prices (for investments sold short) to be used in the fair valuation of investments, rather than the use of closing sale prices currently used for the purpose of determining net asset value. For investments that are not traded in an active market, Canadian GAAP requires the use of specific valuation techniques, rather than the use of valuation techniques by virtue of general practice in the investment funds industry. These changes account for the difference between net assets and net asset value. The difference between net assets and net asset value is as follows: As at Net Asset Value per Security Adjustment Net Assets per Security December 31, 2011 $4.54 ($0.01) $4.53 December 31, 2010 $4.14 $0.00 $

23 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and 2010 (continued) 3. LEVERAGE The ETF measures leverage in terms of the total underlying notional value of the securities and/or financial derivative positions as a ratio of the total assets held by such ETF. The ETF, unlike a mutual fund that is not subject to National Instrument ( NI ), is permitted by NI to lever its assets: that is, the aggregate underlying market exposure of all derivatives held by the ETF calculated on a daily mark-to-market basis can exceed the ETF s cash and cash equivalents, including cash held as margin on deposit to support the ETF s derivatives trading activities. The ETF will generally not use leverage in excess of 2.0 times its net asset value. If the ETF uses leverage in excess of 2.0 times its net asset value, it shall generally reduce its leverage to 2.0 times its net asset value within 10 business days. The minimum and maximum leverage range for the ETF was between 1.62:1 and 2.31:1. Maximum and minimum leverage factors are not adjusted for capital stock activity. Leverage was adjusted daily to be within limits set out in the prospectus. At the end of the reporting period, leverage was 2.06:1, which represented approximately 206% of the ETF s net assets. 4. SECURITYHOLDERS EQUITY On any trading day ( Trading Day ), which is defined as the day that a net asset value of the ETF is being struck, securityholders of the ETF may (i) redeem securities of the ETF for cash at a redemption price per security equal to 95% of the closing price for securities of the ETF on the TSX on the effective day of the redemption or (ii) redeem, less any applicable redemption fee determined by the Manager, in its sole discretion from time to time, a PNU (prescribed number of units) or a multiple PNU of the ETF for cash equal to the net asset value of that number of securities. Securities of the ETF are issued or redeemed on a daily basis at the net asset value per security that is determined as at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) each business day. Purchase and redemption orders are subject to a 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) cut-off time. In order for any cash redemption to be effective on a Trading Day, a cash redemption request in the form prescribed by the Manager from time to time must be delivered to the Manager with respect to the applicable ETF at its head office by 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on that day. If a cash redemption request is not received by 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on a Trading Day, the cash redemption request will be effective only on the next Trading Day. Where possible, payment of the redemption price will be made by no later than the first Trading Day after the effective day of the redemption. Investors that redeem their securities of the ETF prior to the distribution record date for any distribution will not be entitled to receive that distribution. In connection with the redemption of securities of the ETF, it will generally dispose of securities or other financial instruments.
