Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Conversion to Indian Rupees The transactions are in US Dollars, which have been converted into Indian currency for reporting purposes. All income and expense items are converted at the average rate of exchange applicable for the period. All assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate as on the Balance Sheet date. Share Capital is carried forward at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date. The resulting exchange difference on account of translation at the year end is being treated transferred to Translation Reserve Account and the said account is being treated as Reserves and Surplus. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Investments The Company classified its investments in equity securities / futures and options as current investments. Investments are initially recognised at cost, including transaction costs. Investments are subsequently carried at cost or market value, whichever is lower on an overall category basis, based on the quoted bid and offer prices, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits with banks and highly liquid financial assets with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Company in the management of short-term commitments. 6 Global Investment Opportunities Fund Limited

Notes Forming Part of the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31St March, 2014 viii. Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. All known liabilities have been accounted for in the preparation of the financial statements. The materiality of the events occurring after the reporting date has been considered and appropriate adjustments and provisions have been made in the financial statements where necessary. ix. Taxation Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the Balance Sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of prior years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax assets are recognised on carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses only if there is virtual certainty that suchderferred tax asset can be realised against future profits. 3 Notes to the accounts 3.1 (A) Share Capital Share Capital As at 31st March 2014 As at 31st March 2013 ` ` ` ` ` ` Issued, Subscribed and fully Paid up 205 (Previous year 205) shares of USD 1 each 9,594 9,594 9,594 9,594 60,007 (Previous year 74,114) Class A Participating shares 21,998 21,998 30,517 30,517 50,617 (Previous year 73,467) Class C Participating shares 11,907 11,907 25,743 25,743 9,457 (Previous year 36,619) Class I Participating shares 5,606 5,606 22,040 22,040 2,618 (Previous year 2,618) Class A (series 1) Participating shares 1,295 1,295 1,295 1,295 2,003,440 (Previous year 2,678,574) Kotak Fund of Funds 845,263 845,263 1,253,142 1,253,142 9,594 886,069 895,663 9,594 1,332,737 1,342,331 Annual Report 2013-14 7
