6 Directors' report 2017 Directors' report (continued) Significant changes in the state of affairs In the opinion of the directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Schemes that occurred during the financial year. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year No matter or circumstance has arisen since 2017 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect: (i) (ii) (iii) the operations of the Schemes in future financial years, or the results of those operations in future financial years, or the state of affairs of the Schemes in future financial years. Likely developments and expected results of operations The Schemes will continue to be managed in accordance with the investment objectives and guidelines as set out in the governing documents of the Schemes and in accordance with the provisions of the Schemes' Constitutions. The results of the Schemes' operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the performance of investment markets in which the Schemes invest. Investment performance is not guaranteed and future returns may differ from past returns. As investment conditions change over time, past returns should not be used to predict future returns. Further information on likely developments in the operation of the Schemes and the expected results of those operations have not been included in this report because the Responsible Entity believes it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Schemes.

17 For the year ended General information These financial reports cover the following Schemes (the "Schemes") which are Australian registered managed investment Schemes. The Schemes were constituted on the dates set out below, and will terminate on the dates set out below unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Schemes' Constitutions. Australian Share Fund Equity Income Fund Smaller Companies Fund All Industrials Share Fund (formerly Investors Mutual Industrial Share Fund) 1 Future Leaders Fund Small Cap Fund Concentrated Australian Share Fund Constituted Date 29 June November June June June November August 2010 Termination Date 28 June November June June June November August On 15 September 2016, the Fund changed its name from Investors Mutual Industrial Share Fund to Investors Mutual All Industrials Share Fund. The Responsible Entity of the Schemes listed above is Investors Mutual Limited (the "Responsible Entity") which is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Responsible Entity's registered office is Level 24, 25 Bligh Street, Sydney, NSW The financial reports were authorised for issue by the directors on 21 September The directors of the Responsible Entity have the power to amend and reissue the financial reports. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial reports are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial reports have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Interpretations, Corporations Act 2001 in Australia and the Schemes' Constitutions. The financial reports are prepared on a historical cost basis except for investments in financial assets held for trading and fair value through profit or loss investments, which have been measured at fair value. -16-

18 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) The Statements of Financial Position is presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented in decreasing order of liquidity and are not distinguished between current and non-current. All balances are expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months, except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and net assets attributable to unitholders. The amount expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months in relation to these balances cannot be reliably determined. The financial reports are presented in Australian dollars. Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards The financial reports have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (b) New accounting standards and interpretations Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 2017 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Schemes. The directors' assessment of the impact of these new standards (to the extent relevant to the Schemes and interpretations is set out below: (i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments (and applicable amendments), (effective from 1 January 2018 and will therefore apply to the Schemes from 1 July 2018) AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It has now also introduced revised rules around hedge accounting. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2018 but is available for early adoption. The directors do not expect this to have a significant impact on the recognition and measurement of the Schemes' financial instruments as they are carried at fair value through profit or loss. The derecognition rules have not been changed from the previous requirements, and the Schemes' do not apply hedge accounting. AASB 9 introduces a new impairment model. However, as the Schemes' investments are all held at and expected to remain at fair value through profit or loss, the change in impairment rules will not materially impact the Scheme. (i) AASB Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception The Schemes, where applicable, have multiple investments which are controlled by them. However, management determines that the Schemes,where applicable, is a qualifying investment entity due to the following factors: The Schemes obtain and manage funds for the purpose of providing investors of the Schemes with investment management senices. The Schemes' business purpose, which is communicated directly to the investors, is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation and investment income. The Schemes measure and evaluate the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. The Schemes have multiple investments and multiple investors

19 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Although all units attributable to unitholders are recognised as debt rather than equity, unitholders are still exposed to variable returns. The Schemes also meet all of the typical characteristics of an investment entity. As a consequence, the Schemes do not consolidate these investments, but accounts for them at fair value through profit or loss. These separate financial statements are the only financial statements presented by the Schemes. (ii) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (effective from 1 January 2018 and will therefore apply to the Schemes from 1 July 2018) The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer - so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The Scheme's main source of income are interest, dividends and gains on financial instruments held at fair value. All of these are outside the scope of the new revenue standard. As consequence, the directors do not expect the adoption of the new revenue recognition rules to have a significant impact on the Scheme's accounting policies or the amounts recognised in the financial reports. There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the Schemes in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. (c) Structured entities A structured entity is an entity in which voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding control. Structured entities are generally created to achieve a narrow and well defined objective with restrictions around their ongoing activities. Depending on the Schemes' power over the activities of the entity and their exposure to and ability to influence its own returns, they may control the entity. In other cases they may have exposure to such an entity but not control it. An interest in a structured entity is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement which creates variability in returns arising from the performance of the entity for the Schemes. The Schemes typically have no other involvement with the structured entity other than the securities they hold as part of trading activities and its maximum exposure to loss is restricted to the carrying value of the asset. Exposure to trading assets are managed in accordance with financial risk management practices as set out in note 11, which includes an indication of changes in risk measures compared to prior year. (d) Investments Financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified into: Financial instruments held for trading Investments of the Schemes which are considered to be held for trading are derivative financial instruments such as futures and options

20 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss Investments of the Schemes which are designated at fair value through profit and loss are equity securities, units in managed investment schemes and some interest bearing securities which have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term. (i) Recognition/derecognition Purchases and sales of financial instruments that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Scheme commits to purchase or sell the assets. (ii) Initial Measurement All investments are initially recognised at fair value, being the fair value of the consideration paid excluding transaction costs. (d) Investments (continued) (iii) Subsequent Measurement After initial recognition, the financial instruments are revalued to fair value at each reporting date. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments with no active market, fair values are determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flows analysis and option pricing models making as much use of available and supportable market data as possible and keeping judgemental inputs to a minimum. The fair value of units in a managed investment scheme is determined by reference to published bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date being the redemption prices as established by the underlying Scheme's Responsible Entity. The floating rate notes are valued at gross (including interest) rather than net of interest. Changes in fair value of investments are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. The Schemes do not designate any derivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship. Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

21 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (e) Net assets attributable to unitholders Units are redeemable at the unitholders' option and are therefore classified as financial liabilities. The units can be put back to the Schemes at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Schemes' net asset values. The fair value of redeemable units is measured at the redemption amount that is payable (based on the redemption unit price) at the reporting date if the unitholders exercise their right to put the units back to the Schemes. Because the Schemes' redemption unit prices are based on different valuation principles to that in financial reporting, a valuation difference exists which has been treated as a separate component of net assets attributable to unitholders. (f) Cash and cash equivalents For statements of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, high liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings on the statements of financial position. Payments and receipts relating to the purchase and sale of investment securities are classified as cash flows from operating activities, as movements in the fair value of these securities represent the Schemes' main income generating activity. (g) Investment income Interest income is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income for all financial instruments that are not held at fair value through profit or loss using the effective interest method. Other changes in fair value for such instruments are recorded in accordance with the policies described in note 2(d). The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life of the financial instrument, or a shorter period where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Schemes estimate cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, including transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. Dividend income is recognised on the ex-dividend date with any related foreign withholding tax recorded as an expense. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as a dividend expense on the ex-dividend date. Trust distributions are recognised on an entitlement basis

22 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (h) Expenses All expenses, including Responsible Entity's fees and reimbursable expenses, are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income on an accruals basis. (i) Income tax Under current legislation, the Schemes are not subject to income tax provided the taxable income of the Schemes is fully distributed either by way of cash or reinvestment (i.e. unitholders are presently entitled to the income of the Schemes). Financial instruments held at fair value may include unrealised capital gains. Should such a gain be realised, that portion of the gain that is subject to capital gains tax will be distributed so that the Schemes are not subject to capital gains tax. The benefits of imputation credits and foreign tax paid are passed on to unitholders. The Schemes currently incur withholding tax imposed by certain countries on investment income. Such income is recorded net of withholding tax in the statements of comprehensive income. (j) Distributions In accordance with the Schemes' Constitutions, the Schemes fully distribute income adjusted for amounts determined by the Responsible Entity, to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. The distributions are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as finance costs attributable to unitholders. (k) Changes in net assets attributable to unitholders Income not distributed is included in net assets attributable to unitholders. Movements in net assets attributable to unitholders are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as finance costs. (I) Unit price The unit price is based on unit price accounting outlined in the Schemes' Constitutions and Product Disclosure Statements. (m) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the Schemes' financial reports are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the "functional currency"). This is the Australian dollar, which reflects the currency of the economy in which the Schemes compete for funds and is regulated. The Australian dollar is also the Schemes' presentation currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translations at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income

23 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (n) Due from/to brokers Amounts due from/to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yet delivered by the end of the year. Trades are recorded on trade date, and normally settled within three business days. A provision for impairment of amounts due from brokers is established when there is objective evidence that the Fund will not be able to collect all amounts due from the relevant broker. Indicators that the amount due from brokers is impaired include significant financial difficulties of the broker, and the probability that the broker will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default in payments. (o) Receivables Receivables may include amounts for dividends, interest and trust distributions. Dividends and trust distributions are accrued when the right to receive payment is established. Interest is accrued at the reporting date from the time of last payment in accordance with the policy set out 2(g) above. Amounts are generally received within 30 days of being recorded as receivables. (p) Payables Payables includes liabilities and accrued expenses owing by the Schemes which are unpaid as at reporting date. Trades are recorded on trade date, and normally settled within two business days. Purchases of financial instruments that are unsettled at reporting date are included in payables. The distribution amount payable to unitholders as at the reporting date is recognised separately on the statements of financial position when unitholders are presently entitled to the distributable income under the Schemes' Constitutions. (q) Applications and redemptions Applications received for units in the Schemes are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of units in the Schemes. Redemptions from the Schemes are recorded gross of any exit fees payable after the cancellation of units redeemed. (r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) The GST incurred on the costs of various services provided to the Schemes by third parties such as custodial services and investment management fees have been passed onto the Schemes. The Schemes qualify for Reduced Input Tax Credits (RITC's) at a rate of at least 55%; hence investment management fees, custodial fees and other expenses have been recognised in statements of comprehensive income net of the amount of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Accounts payable are inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from the ATO is included in receivables in the statements of financial position. Cash flows relating to GST are included in the statements of cash flows on a gross basis. -22

24 For the year ended Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (s) Use of estimates The Schemes make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. For the majority of the Schemes' financial instruments, quoted market prices are readily available. However, certain financial instruments, for example, over-the-counter derivatives or unquoted securities are fair valued using valuation techniques. Where valuation techniques (for example, pricing models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by experienced personnel of the Responsible Entity, independent of the area that created them. Models use observable data, to the extent practicable. However, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. (t) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to any changes in presentation made in these financial reports. (u) Rounding of amounts to the nearest thousand dollars The Schemes are entities of the kind referred to in Australian Securities and Investments Comission ("ASIC") (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that instrument, amounts in the financial report and directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars or nearest dollar, unless otherwise indicated. -23-

29 For the year ended Net assets attributable to unitholders - liability (continued) As stipulated within the Schemes' Constitutions, each unit represents a right to an individual share in the Schemes and does not extend to a right to the underlying assets of the Schemes. There are no separate classes of units and each unit has the same rights attaching to it as all other units of the Schemes. Capital risk management The Schemes consider net assets attributable to unitholders as capital, notwithstanding net assets attributable to unitholders are classified as a liability. The amount of net assets attributable to unitholders can change significantly on a daily basis as the Schemes are subject to daily applications and redemptions at the discretion of unitholders. The Responsible Entity monitors the impact of applications and redemptions relative to the liquid assets in the Scheme. Capital gains/(losses) At the reporting date, the Schemes had the following net unrealised taxable capital gains/(losses), and realised capital losses available to offset against future assessable capital gains.

A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract which is settled at a future date and whose value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable. Derivative financial instruments require no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors. Derivative transactions include many different instruments, such as forwards, futures and options. Derivatives are considered to be part of the investment process and the use of derivatives is an essential part of the Schemes' portfolio management. Derivatives are not managed in isolation. Consequently, the use of derivatives is multifaceted and includes: hedging to protect an asset or liability of the Schemes against a fluctuation in market values or to reduce volatility a substitution for trading of physical securities adjusting asset exposures within the parameters set in the investment strategy, and adjusting the duration of fixed interest portfolios or the weighted average maturity of cash portfolios While derivatives are used for trading purposes, they are not used to gear (leverage) a portfolio. Gearing a portfolio would occur if the level of exposure to the markets exceeds the underlying value of the Schemes. -33-

35 For the year ended Derivative financial instruments (continued) The Schemes hold the following derivative instruments: (a) Futures Futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date at a specified price established in an organised market. The futures contracts are collateralised by cash or marketable securities. Changes in futures contracts' values are usually settled net daily with the exchange. Interest rate futures are contractual obligations to receive or pay a net amount based on changes in interest rates at a future date at a specified price, established in an organised financial market. (b) Options An option is a contractual arrangement under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right, but not the obligation, either to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) at or by a set date or during a set period, a specific amount of securities or a financial instrument at a predetermined price. The seller receives a premium from the purchaser in consideration for the assumption of future securities price. Options held by the Schemes are exchange traded. The Schemes are exposed to credit risk on purchased options to the extent of their carrying amount, which is their fair value. Options are settled on a gross basis.

40 For the year ended Related party transactions ( continued) Other transactions within the Schemes From time to time directors of the Responsible Entity, or their director related entities, may invest in or withdraw from the Schemes. These investments or withdrawals are on the same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Scheme investors and are trivial in nature. Apart from those details disclosed in this note, no key management personnel have entered into a material contract with the Schemes since the end of the previous financial year and there were no material contracts involving director's interests subsisting at year end. Responsible Entity's fees and other transactions For the year ended 2017, in accordance with the Schemes' Constitutions, the Responsible Entity received management fees based on the percentage below of the respective Schemes' net asset value (inclusive of GST, net of RITC available to the Schemes) per annum as follows: Australian Share Fund 0.993% (2016: 0.993%) Equity Income Fund 0.993% (2016: 0.993%) Smaller Companies Fund 0.993% (2016: 0.993%) All Industrials Share Fund 0.993% (2016: 0.993%) Future Leaders Fund 0.993% (2016: 0.993%) Small Cap Fund 1.15% (2016: 1.15%) Concentrated Australian Share Fund 0.993% (2016: 0.993%) -39

42 For the year ended Financial risk management The Schemes' overall risk management program focuses on ensuring compliance with the Fund's Product Disclosure Statement and seeks to maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which the Fund is exposed. Financial risk management is carried out by an investment manager under policies approved by the investment manager. (a) Strategy in using financial instruments The allocation of assets between the various types of financial instruments is determined by the Schemes' investment manager as identified in the Schemes' Product Disclosure Statement who manages the Schemes' assets to achieve the Schemes' investment objectives. The monitoring of asset allocations and the composition of the assets is also monitored by the Schemes' investment manager on at least a monthly basis. The custody of assets is outsourced to RBC Investor Services Trust. Financial instruments of the Schemes comprise of investments in financial assets for the purpose of generating a return on the investment made by the unitholders, in addition to derivatives (used from time to time), cash and cash equivalents, net assets attributable to unitholders, and other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors, which arise directly from its operations. The Responsible Entity is responsible for identifying and controlling the risks that arise from these financial instruments. The Schemes' investing activities expose it to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: market risk credit risk liquidity risk This note presents information about the Schemes' exposure to each of the above risks, the Schemes' objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. The Responsible Entity has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Schemes' financial risk management framework. The Responsible Entity oversees how management monitors compliance with the Schemes' financial risk management policies and procedures. The Responsible Entity also ensures the continued adequacy of the financial risk management framework

43 For the year ended Financial risk management (continued) (a) Strategy in using financial instruments (continued) Information is prepared and reported to relevant parties within the Responsible Entity on a regular basis as deemed appropriate, including the investment manager, compliance manager, other key management and ultimately the directors of the Responsible Entity. The use of derivatives is considered to be part of the investment and asset management processes and is not managed in isolation. Consequently, the use of derivatives is multifaceted and includes: As a substitute for physical securities until the physical position can be established; Adjusting asset exposures within the parameters set in the investment strategy; and Adjusting the duration of fixed interest assets or the weighted average maturity of cash assets. Derivatives are not used to gear (leverage) an asset. Gearing an asset would occur if the level of exposure to the markets exceeds the underlying value of the Schemes. (b) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other market prices will affect the Schemes' income or the carrying value 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. The Schemes are exposed, particularly in equity assets, to market risks. The Schemes also utilise derivatives. The Schemes invest in securities traded on global markets, market risk is a risk to which exposure is unavoidable. The risk is mitigated through diversification of the portfolio that is captured by investments in various industries. (i) Currency risk Schemes that invest in international assets are exposed to 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. Investment Managers may enter into derivative contracts (such as forwards, swaps, options and futures) through approved foreign exchange dealers to minimise risk. However, the use of these contracts must be consistent with the investment strategy and restrictions of each Scheme, and agreed acceptable level of currency risk. The Schemes may enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than Australian dollars. The Schemes are therefore exposed to risks that the exchange rate of the Australian dollar relative to other foreign currencies may change and have an adverse effect on the Schemes' assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar. At 2017 and 2016 none of the Schemes are exposed to foreign currency risk. All the Schemes invest in the Australian Market. Foreign currency exposure is monitored by the investment managers. The investment managers aim to remove effect of foreign currency on the Schemes' investments wherever it is possible and prudent to do so. -42-

The Schemes are exposed to interest rate risk on its cash holdings. Interest income from cash holdings is earned at variable interest rates. Investments in cash holdings are at call. The Schemes' exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate of classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below: Australian Share Fund 2017 Weighted Average interest rate % Floating Within 1 interest rate month More than 3 More than 1 and less and less that than 12 3 months months 1 year to 5 More than 5 years years Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Net exposure 1.43% 222, , , , Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Floating rate notes Net exposure 1.64% 6.41% 140, ,443 4,245 4, ,443 4, ,688 Sensitivity analysis An increase of 0.75% (2016: 0.75%) in interest rates applicable at reporting date would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $1,666,119 (2016: $1,078,283).

There will be no impact on net assets attributable to unitholders other than the change in operating profit or loss before finance costs attributable to unitholders. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis has been performed on the same basis in (iii) Equity price risk Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities or equity-linked derivatives decrease as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual shares. The equity price risk exposure arises from the Scheme's investments in equity securities. Management's best estimate of the effect on profit/ (loss) for the year due to a reasonably possible change in equity indices, with all other variables held constant is indicated in the table below. There is no effect on 'other comprehensive income' as the Scheme has no assets classified as available-for-sale or designated hedging instruments. In practice the actual trading results may differ from the sensitivity analysis below and the difference could be material. As the majority of the Schemes' investments are carried at fair value with fair value changes recognised in the statements of comprehensive income, all changes in market conditions will directly affect net investment income

51 For the year ended Financial risk management (continued) (iii) Equity price risk (continued) Risk management techniques are used in the selection of investments. Securities/investments (including derivatives) are only purchased that meet investment criteria. Sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis is based on a generic approach using+/- 10%, which gives the user/investor a benchmark to demonstrate how sensitive each portfolio is in relation to changes in various risk parameters. The sensitivity analysis includes all underlying investments in financial assets and financial liabilities. An increase of 10% (2016:10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for Australian Share Fund would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $250,491,666 (2016: $211,817,183). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. An increase of 10% (2016:10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for Equity Income Fund would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $46,742,708 (2016: $27,806,202). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. An increase of 10% (2016:10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for Smaller Companies Fund would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $15,375,055 (2016: $14,009,218). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. An increase of 10% (2016:10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for All Industrials Share Fund would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $26,732,741 (2016: $23,872,540). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. An increase of 10% (2016:10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for Future Leaders Fund would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $46,945,422 (2016: $39,123,281). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. An increase of 10% (2016:10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for Small Cap Fund would have increased operating profit before finance costs attributable to unitholders in 2017 by $7,776,839 (2016: $5,338,908). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. An increase of 10% (2016: 10%) at the reporting date of the underlying investments' prices for Concentrated Australian Share Fund would have increased operating profit in 2017 by $4,417,661 (2016: $1,577,687). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. A decrease of 10% (2016: 10%) would have the equal, but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variable remain constant. -50-

52 For the year ended Financial risk management (continued) (c) 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 Schemes. The Schemes' investment managers have a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. With respect to credit risk arising from the financial assets of the Schemes, other than derivatives, the Schemes' exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with the current exposure equal to the fair value of these instruments as disclosed on the statements of financial position. This does not represent the maximum risk exposure that could arise in the future as a result of changes in values, but best represents the current maximum exposure at the reporting date. The Schemes hold no collateral as security or any other credit enhancements. There are no financial assets that are past due or impaired, or otherwise be past due or impaired except for the terms having been renegotiated. Credit risk is not considered to be a major risk to the Schemes as any cash held by the Schemes are invested with financial institutions that have very strong credit ratings. The balance of investments are held in listed securities and derivatives are entered into with reputable financial institutions. (d} Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Schemes will not be able to meet their financial obligations as they fall due. The risk is controlled through the Schemes' investment in financial instruments, which under normal market conditions are readily convertible to cash. In addition the Schemes maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet normal operating requirements. Maturity analysis for financial liabilities Financial liabilities of the Schemes comprise of trade and other payables, distributions payable, and net assets attributable to unitholders. Trade and other payables and distributions payable have no contractual maturities but are typically settled within 30 days. Net assets attributable to unitholders are entirely payable on demand

66 For the year ended Fair value measurements The Scheme measures and recognises financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss on a recurring basis. AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 ); Fair value estimation 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 asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). The carrying amounts of the Scheme's assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period approximate their fair values. All financial assets and financial liabilities included in the statements of financial position are carried at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are measured initially at fair value excluding any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments held at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. (i) Fair value in an active market (Level 1) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets is based on their quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Scheme is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current asking price. When the Scheme holds derivatives with offsetting market risks, it uses mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fair values for the offsetting risk positions and applies this bid or asking price to the net open position, as appropriate. 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. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis

67 For the year ended Fair value measurements (continued) (ii) Fair value in an inactive or unquoted market (Level 2 and Level 3) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of a substantially similar other instrument, discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or any other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions. Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based on management's best estimates and the discount rate used is a market rate at the end of the reporting period applicable for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. For other pricing models, inputs are based on market data at the end of the reporting period. Fair values for unquoted equity investments are estimated, if possible, using applicable price/earnings ratios for similar listed companies adjusted to reflect the specific circumstances of the issuer. The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange traded is estimated at the amount that the Scheme would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the end of the reporting period taking into account current market conditions (volatility and appropriate yield curve) and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of a forward contract is determined as a net present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at appropriate market rates as at the valuation date. The carrying value less impairment provision of other receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Scheme for similar financial instruments. Valuation process for Level 3 valuations Valuations are the responsibility of the board of directors of the responsible entity. The investment committee considers the appropriateness of the valuation methods and inputs, and may request that alternative valuation methods are applied to support the valuation arising from the method chosen. Any changes in valuation methods are discussed and agreed with the responsible entity's board of directors. The valuations are also subject to quality assurance procedures performed within the valuation department. The valuation department verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to relevant documents and market information. In addition, the accuracy of the computation is tested.

80 Building a better working world Ernst & Young Tel: Georae Street Fax: Sydney NSw 2000 Australia ey.com/au GPO Box 2646 Sydney NSW 2001 Independent Auditor's Report to the unitholders of Investor Mutual Limited's managed investment schemes Opinion For the following Investors Mutual Limited's managed investments schemes (the "Schemes"): Investors Mutual Australian Share Fund Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund Investors Mutual Australian Smaller Companies Fund Investors Mutual All Industrials Share Fund (formerly known as Investors Mutual Industrial Share Fund) Investors Mutual Future Leaders Fund Investors Mutual Small Cap Fund Investors Mutual Concentrated Australian Share Fund We have audited the financial reports of the above Schemes, which comprises the statements of financial position as at 2017, the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in net assets attributable to unitholders and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial reports of the Schemes are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a) giving a true and fair view of the Schemes' financial position as at 2017 and of their financial performance for the year ended on that date; and b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Schemes in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial reports in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Information Other than the Financial Reports and Auditor's Report Thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information is the directors' report accompanying the financial reports.

81 Building a better working world Our opinion on the financial reports does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial reports, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial reports or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Reports The directors of Investors Mutual Limited ("the Responsible Entity") are responsible for the preparation of the financial reports that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial reports that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial reports, the directors are responsible for assessing the Schemes' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Schemes or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Reports Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial reports as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial reports. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial reports, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Responsible Entity's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

82 Building a better working world Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Schemes' ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial reports or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Schemes to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial reports, including the disclosures, and whether the financial reports represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. l7 Ernst & Young Darren Handley-Greaves Partner Sydney 21 September 2017 A mombor firm of Em \ l- Young Global Llmltod Lt:ibmty llmltod by;, ehonlo :ipprovod uodn Profo lonji St ndjrd Logl l:itlon
