General information Country of incorporation The Company is a public company limited by shares incorporated in Cyprus on January 31, 2017 under the Companies Law of Cyprus with registration number HE365588 and authorised on August 01, 2016 by the Cyprus and Exchange Commission as a UCITS Variable Capital Investment Company with several investment compartments under the UCI Law under license number UCIT 08/78. The Company has been established for an unlimited period of time.

Operating environment of the Company A prolonged period of tepid economic growth has squeezed profitability in some sectors and put significant pressure on longstanding business models and balance sheet management. While regulators are keen to preserve the hard won reforms of recent years, rising political uncertainty in developed economies (as demonstrated by the UK's referendum decision to leave the EU and the US Presidential election results) has increased the volatility and hence unpredictability of the macro-policy environment. This has caused some to go as far as questioning the sustainability of free trade and open markets. At the same time, the introduction of new technologies and digital distribution platforms in the financial sector is unleashing disruptive forces, promising benefits to consumers and markets and posing further challenges to the strategies (and margins) of established firms. New technologies also stand to multiply the cyber and IT risks the industry currently faces. Nevertheless, if properly harnessed, these technologies also present opportunities for incumbents that move quickly and wisely to revitalise their business models. The Company has significant exposure to the financial markets of the US and EU as well as the exposure to the spot prices of currencies. Management believes it is taking all the necessary measures to support the sustainability and growth of the Company's business in the current circumstances. 9 32

2. Summary of the Basic Accounting Principles The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared according to the regulations prevailing in the Republic of Cyprus relating to undertakings for collective investment schemes and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the E.U. As of the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective as of 1 January 2017 have been adopted by the EU through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission, with the exception of certain provisions of las 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" relating to portfolio hedge accounting. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Board of Directors to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Fund s accounting policies. Adoption of New and Revised IFRSs During the current year the Company adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2017. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company. At the date of approval of these financial statements, a number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company, except the ones set out below: IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement" *(issued in July 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Key features of the new standard are: Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Classification for debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). If a debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised cost if it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an entity both holds to collect assets' cash flows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain cash flows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL (for example, derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in assessing the SPPI 10 32

condition. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. Most of the requirements in las 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income. IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model includes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables. Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply las 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its financial statements and as of the date of issue of these financial statements the impact of the adoption of this standard is not known. On adoption of IFRS 9 the Fund s investment portfolio will continue to be classified as fair value through profit or loss. Other financial assets which are held for collection will continue to be measured at amortized cost with no material impact expected from application of the new impairment model. As a result, the adoption of IFRS 9 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund s financial statements. 11 32

Foreign Currency Translation (a) Functional and presentation currency The Company is an umbrella fund with segregated liability between its Sub-Funds. The following Sub-Funds have been established: Short Duration Sub-Funds ERB Short Duration EUR Fund, Reference currency: Euro ERB Short Duration USD Fund, Reference currency: US Dollar As of the date of this Prospectus and according to the provisions of the UCI Law and the CySEC Directive DI- 78-2012-19 on the constitution, functioning and dissolution of UCITS with multiple investment compartments, the Company shall maintain for each Sub-fund a separate pool of assets. Each compartment is independent and it is constituted by a separate pool of assets, which are invested in accordance with the investment objectives and policy and/or risk profile of each of the Sub-Funds. Each Sub- Fund issues Shares corresponding to the assets constituting its share capital. Separate books and records will be maintained for each Sub-Fund. In addition, duties and charges or any other aspects may differ among the Company s Sub- Funds. The rights of Shareholders and of creditors created by the constitution, operation or dissolution of a particular Sub-Fund are limited to the assets of this Sub-Fund. ERB Short Duration EUR Fund, Reference currency: Euro The Fund s investors are mainly from the Eurozone, with the subscriptions and redemptions of the redeemable shares denominated in euro. The primary activity of the Fund is to invest in EUR fixed income transferable securities and deposits and to offer Eurozone investors consistent absolute returns. The performance of the Fund is measured and reported to the investors in euro. The Board of Directors considers the euro as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. ERB Short Duration USD Fund, Reference currency: US Dollar The Fund s investors are mainly from the Eurozone, with the subscriptions and redemptions of the redeemable shares denominated in US Dollar. The primary activity of the Fund is to invest in USD fixed income transferable securities and deposits and to offer Eurozone investors consistent absolute returns. The performance of the Fund is measured and reported to the investors in euro. The Board of Directors considers the euro as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. The financial statements of each sub-fund are presented in their functional currency as follows: Sub-Fund ERB Short Duration EUR Fund ERB Short Duration USD Fund Currency EUR USD 12 32

The combined financial statements of the Company are presented in Euro, which is the Company s functional and presentation Currency. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in the statement of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within foreign exchange differences. The market value of investments and other assets and other liabilities, expressed in foreign currencies, are translated into the reporting currency of each sub-fund at end of period exchange rates. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency translation are offset with profit and losses. The combined statements are calculated at end of period exchange rates except of the Combined Comprehensive Income Statement where the period average exchange rate has been used. Closing exchange rate as at June 29, 2018 are: 1 USD = 0.85778 EUR Average exchange rate for the period January 1, 2018 until June 29, 2018 are: 1 USD = 0.826524EUR (c) Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable in the ordinary course of the Company's activities. The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities as described below. The Company bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Revenues earned by the Company are recognized on the following bases: (i) Interest income For the calculation of the interest income the accrued interest is taken into consideration after deducting withholding taxes. Dividends are calculated on an ex-dividend basis net from withholding taxes. Interest on debt securities at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within interest income based on the effective interest rate. (ii) Dividend income Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within dividend income when the Fund s right to receive payments is established. 13 32

Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country in which the Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. If applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, it establishes provision where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the Company where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (a) Classification The Fund classifies its investments in debt and equity securities, as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. This category has two sub-categories: financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading; and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. 14 32

(i) Financial assets and liabilities held for trading A financial asset or financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term or if on initial recognition is part of a portfolio of identifiable financial investments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking. (ii) Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Fund s documented investment strategy. (b) Fair value estimation Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. The Fund utilizes bid-market prices from Bloomberg s evaluated pricing service, BGN, for the valuation of investments in bonds. In circumstances where the Bid market price is not available or within the bid-ask spread, management will determine the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The Fund uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Valuation techniques used include the use of comparable recent arm s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity specific inputs. Financial instruments in level 1 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active 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. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily London and New York Stock Exchange equity Investments and government bonds traded OTC classified as trading securities. 15 32

Financial instruments in level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted equity securities) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Financial instruments in level 3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. Adjusted comparable price-to-book value multiples. Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis. (c) Recognition, de-recognition and measurement Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the investment. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in the statement of comprehensive income Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other net changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within dividend income when the Fund s right to receive payments is established. Interest on debt securities at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within interest income based on the effective interest rate. 16 32

Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty. Due from and due to brokers Amounts due from and to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered on the statement of financial position date respectively. These amounts are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment for amounts due from brokers. 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. Significant financial difficulties of the broker, probability that the broker will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default in payments are considered indicators that the amount due from brokers is impaired. Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognized using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized 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, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Fund estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term investments in an active market with original maturities of three months or less 1 and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. Accrued expenses Accrued expenses are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 17 32

Redeemable Shares Each Subfund issues one class of redeemable shares, Redeemable shares can be put back to the Fund at any dealing date for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Fund s net asset value attributable to the share class. Shares are redeemable daily. The redeemable shares are carried at the redemption amount that is payable at the statement of financial position date if the holder exercises the right to put the share back to the Fund. Redeemable shares are issued and redeemed at the holder s option at prices based on the Fund s net asset value per share at the time of issue or redemption. The Fund s net asset value per share is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to the holders of each class of redeemable shares with the total number of outstanding redeemable shares for each respective class. In accordance with the provisions of the Fund s regulations, investment positions are valued based on the last traded market price for the purpose of determining the net asset value per share for subscriptions and redemptions. Transaction Costs Transaction costs are costs incurred to acquire financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers. Transaction costs, when incurred, are immediately recognized in profit or loss as an expense. 18 32

3. Financial Risk Management Financial and other risks Financial and other risk factors The Fund s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Fund is also exposed to various operational risks such as custody risk. Custody risk is the risk of loss of securities held in custody occasioned by the insolvency or negligence of the custodian. Although an appropriate legal framework is in place that eliminates the risk of loss of value of the securities held by the custodian, in the event of its failure, the ability of the Fund to transfer securities might be temporarily impaired. The Fund s overall risk management program seeks to maximize the returns derived for the level of risk to which the Fund is exposed and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Fund s financial performance. The management of these risks is carried out by the Risk Management Department of the Management Company under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Risk Management Department provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative financial instruments and nonderivative financial instruments and the investment of excess liquidity. The risk management policy is approved, reviewed on a regular basis and, if necessary, revised by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors should be held responsible for the appropriateness and effectiveness of the risk management process. The Fund uses different methods to measure and manage the various types of risk to which it is exposed; these methods are explained below. Market risk (a) Price risk Each Sub-Fund is exposed to debt securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Sub-Fund for which prices in the future are uncertain. The Fund s policy is to manage price risk through diversification and selection of financial instruments within specified limits set. According to the prospectus, the percentage of fund assets invested in fixed income debt securities and money market instruments is expected to be within the range of 55%-90% and 10%-45%, respectively. 19 32

3. Financial Risk Management (continued) Undertaking for collective investments, financial derivative instruments, structured financial instruments, securities lending and repurchase agreements may be used within the limits specified in Fund s prospectus. The Fund is not invested in derivative positions. (b) Foreign exchange risk At 30 June, there is no material exposure denominated in foreign currencies. (c) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of markets interest rates on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and future cash flow. Both Sub-Funds hold fixed interest securities that expose them to fair value interest rate risk. The Sub-Funds also hold a limited amount of floating rate debt and cash and cash equivalents that expose them to cash flow interest rate risk. The Fund s policy requires the Investment Manager to manage this risk by measuring the mismatch of the interest rate sensitivity gap of financial assets and liabilities and calculating the average duration of the portfolio of fixed interest securities. The average effective duration of the Fund s portfolio is a measure of the sensitivity of the fair value of the Fund s fixed interest securities to changes in market interest rates. According to their investment policy, the average duration of the Sub-Funds is not expected to exceed a five year period. The table below summarizes the relative sensitivity to interest rate changes for each Sub-Fund. This measure of duration for the portfolio indicates the approximate percentage change in the value of the portfolio if interest rates change by 100 basis points. Modified Duration 30 June 2018 30 June 2017 ERB Short Duration EUR - A CLASS 2,09 - ERB Short Duration USD - A CLASS 1,30 - For the case of ERB Short Duration EUR - A CLASS, at 30 June 2018, if interest rates had been lower/higher by 100 basis points with all other variables held constant, the change in net assets attributable to redeemable shareholders would have been 2.09% higher/lower. 20 32

3. Financial Risk Management (continued) For the case of ERB Short Duration USD - A CLASS, at 30 June 2018, if interest rates had been lower/higher by 100 basis points with all other variables held constant, the change in net assets attributable to redeemable shareholders would have been 1.30% higher/lower. The interest rate effect primarily arises from the increase/decrease in the fair value of fixed interest securities, with a small proportion arising from the decrease/increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents. (d) Global Exposure and Leverage Methodology Global Exposure The risk-management process involves the calculation of the global exposure of each Sub-Fund. Based on the investment strategy of both Sub-Funds, the Absolute Value-at-Risk ( Absolute VaR ) approach has been chosen as the most suitable method to be applied. In terms of assumptions and mathematical foundations of the model, the Fund is using the 1 Year Data, 1 Month VaR at 99% confidence interval combination. The model s methodology is the Historical Simulation. The limit in terms of global exposure is set to be that the Sub-Fund s 1 Month VaR should not exceed the 1 Month Absolute VaR Limit, which has been set to 3%. The VaR model chosen provides for completeness and assesses the risks with a high level of accuracy. Risk Management Department assures that the model captures all the material market risks associated with portfolio positions. Risk Management Department calculates the Sub-Funds global exposure on at least a daily basis. The limits on global exposure must be complied with on an ongoing basis. Leverage The Sub-Funds may achieve some leverage through the use of financial derivatives instruments for the purpose of making investments/hedging purposes. The leverage of derivative instruments is calculated using the Sum of Notionals approach for all UCITS portfolios that have derivatives exposure. At June 30, 2018 neither of the Sub-Funds is leveraged since neither of the Sub-Funds has exposure to financial derivative positions. 21 32

3. Financial Risk Management (continued) The table below summarizes the global exposure utilization and leverage figures for year 2018 for each Sub- Fund. Utilization figures refer to the period that an Absolute VaR Limit of 3% was applied. Category Fund Name Global Exposure Method Internal VaR Limit Lowest VaR Utilization (internal limit) Highest VaR Utilization (internal limit) Average VaR Utilization (internal limit) Risk Benchmark Type of Model Confidenc e Level Holding Period Observati Leverage Average Leverage Method on Period Limit Leverage Bond Funds ERB SHORT DURATION EUR FUND Absolute VaR 1 MONTH ABSOLUTE VaR LIMIT 3% 23,7% 36,9% 29,7% 1 MONTH ABSOLUTE VAR LIMIT Historical Simulation 99% 21 Days 1 Year Sum of Notionals 100% 0,0% ERB SHORT DURATION USD FUND Absolute VaR 1 MONTH ABSOLUTE VaR LIMIT 3% 7,8% 14,7% 11,3% 1 MONTH ABSOLUTE VAR LIMIT Historical Simulation 99% 21 Days 1 Year Sum of Notionals 100% 0,0% Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligations in full as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous. Both Funds are a Short-Term Funds which seek to provide investors with consistent absolute returns primarily through investing in securities with duration typically less than 5 years. The resulting portfolio is therefore expected to be relatively liquid and diversified. In normal market conditions, the majority of the Sub-Fund s assets will be comprised of liquid assets, meaning that assets that can be easily purchased or sold. However, in some circumstances there is a risk for some investment to become relatively illiquid making it difficult to acquire or dispose of them at the prices quoted on the various exchanges. Therefore the Sub-Fund may not be able to sell assets to meet the redemption requirement or may only be able to sell the assets at a price which negatively affects the Net Asset Value of the Fund. In order to manage the Fund s overall liquidity, Management Company, subject to prior CySEC approval and the conditions laid down in the UCI Law, may temporarily suspend redemptions or conversion of Shares if this is deemed to be in the best interest of all shareholders and for a period not exceed the one month. The Fund did not withhold any redemption or implement any suspension during 2017. Credit risk The Fund is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The main concentration to which the Sub-Funds are exposed arises from debt securities investments. The Fund is also exposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, amounts due from brokers and other receivable balances. An issuer suffering an adverse change in its financial condition could lower the credit quality of a security, leading to greater price volatility of the security. A lowering of the credit rating of a security may also offset the security's liquidity, making it more difficult to sell. Sub-Funds investing in lower quality debt securities are more susceptible to these problems and their value may be more volatile. There can be no assurance 22 32

3. Financial Risk Management (continued) that issuers of the securities or other instruments in which a Sub-Fund invests will not be subject to credit difficulties leading to the loss of some or all of the investment in such securities. The analysis below summarizes the credit quality of the Sub-Funds at 30 June. Debt securities by rating category ERB Short Duration EUR - A CLASS 30 June 2018 30 June 2017 A-1+ 16,45% - A-1 1,64% - A-2 28,33% - A-3 5,30% - B 0,00% C 47,98% - Non-rated 0,00% - Average Credit Quality A-3 - ERB Short Duration USD - A CLASS 30 June 2018 30 June 2017 A-1+ 40,16% - A-1 9,66% - A-2 40,83% - A-3 5,58% - B 1,40% - C 1,24% - Non-rated 0,00% - Average Credit Quality A-1 - All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation. The maximum exposure to credit risk before any credit enhancements at 30 June is the carrying amount of the financial assets as set out below. ERB short Duration EUR ERB short Duration USD Debt Securities 4.344.288 6.202.181 Cash and Cash equivalents 1.743.118 938.551 23 32

3. Financial Risk Management (continued) The clearing and depository operations for the Fund s security transactions are mainly concentrated with one custodian, namely Eurobank Cyprus Ltd part of the Eurobank Group. Eurobank Group is a member of Athens Stock Exchange, and at 31 December 2017 had a credit rating of CCC+. On June 30, 2018 all investments are placed in custody with Eurobank Cyprus Ltd. In the case that the Fund s assets are invested in derivative financial instruments, the Fund is also exposed to credit risk to Eurobank Cyprus Ltd to the extent that collateral provided has been sold or re-pledged. Neither of the Sub-Funds is currently invested in derivative positions and therefore the Fund is not exposed to such risk on June 30, 2018. There are also risks involved in dealing with custodians or brokers who settle trades with regard to the segregation of assets. It is expected that all securities and other assets deposited with custodians or brokers will be clearly identified as being assets of the Fund; the Fund should not therefore be exposed to a credit risk with respect to such parties. However, it may not always be possible to achieve this segregation, so the portfolio of the Fund may experience increased exposure to credit risk associated with the applicable custodians or brokers. Capital risk management The capital of the Fund is represented by the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares. The amount of net asset attributable to holders of redeemable shares can change significantly on a daily basis, as the Fund is subject to daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of shareholders, as well as changes resulting from the Fund s performance. The Fund s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Fund s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, provide benefits for other stakeholders and maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment activities of the Fund. In order to maintain the capital structure, the Fund s policy is to perform the following: Monitor the level of daily subscriptions and redemptions relative to the assets it expects to be able to liquidate in order to meet its obligations to redeemable shareholders Redeem and issue new shares in accordance with the constitutional documents of the Fund, which include the ability to restrict redemptions and require certain minimum holdings and subscriptions Fair value estimation The following table presents within the fair value hierarchy the fund s assets and liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2018. Level in fair value hierarchy ERB VCIC ERB VCIC ERB short Duration EUR ERB short Duration USD Level 1 Level 1 Financial Assets at Fair value through profit or loss 4.344.287,60 6.202.180,96 24 32

4. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (i) Income taxes Significant judgment is required in determining the prov1s1on for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made. 5.
