Old Mutual Unit Trust Funds Chairman s statement Chairman s Statement to Unit Holders About Us Old Mutual Plc is an international investment, savings, insurance and banking group founded in Cape Town, South Africa in 1845 as the country s first mutual life insurance company. The Group provides life assurance, asset management, banking and general insurance in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia to over 16 million customers. The Kenya entities are part of Old Mutual Emerging Markets business and is a fully owned subsidiary of Old Mutual Plc that has its primary listing on London Stock Exchange and secondary listings on, Johannesburg, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Malawi stock exchanges. 2017 Economic Review The Kenyan economy is estimated to have grown by 4.9% in 2017, mainly supported by improvements in the growth rate of the real estate and public administration sectors and an improvement in agriculture in the second half of the year. Deceleration in growth in key sectors such as financial intermediation, manufacturing, transport and storage have weighed down the overall economic growth rate. Inflation reduced in the year from 6.3% in December 2016 to 4.5% in December 2017. Inflation in the first half of the year picked up significantly due to the poor harvest experienced in late 2016. This in particular resulted in a rapid rise in maize prices which subsequently the Government moved to contain through a subsidy that effectively fixed the price of maize flour at KES 90 per two kilogram packet. This subsidy, the impact of improving rainfall on other crop prices and helped inflation move lower during the second half of 2017. In the year, the Monetary Policy Committee held the Central Bank Rate at 10% with the economy exhibiting sluggish demand in part due to the prolonged election period and slow private credit growth as banks adjusted to the interest rate cap rule. The Committee has cited though that growth is expected to pick up in 2018, inflation outlook is favourable and the currency is expected to be stable. The NSE 20 and NASI indices recovered in 2017 seeing a growth of 16.5% and 28.4% respectively in 2017 as market participants bid up share prices from low levels driven by increasing optimism over the likelihood of accelerating corporate earnings growth in 2018 and the approaching end of electioneering. Our Ambition Since inception of the Old Mutual Unit Trusts Funds in 2003, we have strived to make the Unit Trust Funds accessible to all through significantly lowering the minimum amount of funds that need to be invested in any fund; enabling access via your mobile phone and expanding our network of branches and service centres. As we further seek to improve the services to our existing 26,745 unit holders we have improved our processes to allow clients to receive their funds via MPESA for amounts below K 70,000, reducing the transaction costs associated with EFT payments and improving our turnaround times to our clients. We have further improved our communication to clients by alerting them via SMS of any transactions done on their accounts to secure their account and reduce the possibility of fraud incidents. We continue to encourage clients to update their information and a majority of our clients are now receiving regular communication via e-mail as opposed to via the post-office. 10

With considerable exposure to strong performers such as KCB and Safaricom the equity portion in the funds performed to expectations. Long term investors in funds with equity investments will appreciate that performance varies considerably from year to year. Though over the long term the stock market will rise reflecting the performance of the economy and of the leading companies in the economy that are often listed at the Securities Exchange. It is therefore our continued expectation that the equity market will be rewarding where investments are held in companies that seek to maximise shareholder wealth over the long term. Investors are encouraged to pursue a similar long term investment horizon and note the inherent price volatility of the Old Mutual Equity Fund is part and parcel of investing in equities. If this volatility does not sit well with any unit holders the option exists to invest in Old Mutual Balanced Fund or East African Fund that have a less aggressive risk profile. 11
Old Mutual Unit Trust Funds Chairman s statement The even more conservative funds such as the Money Market Fund and Bond Fund produced modest returns in line with their cautious investment risk profile. Our largest fund, the Money Market Fund seeks to provide a return comparable to other money market investments whilst simultaneously providing Unit Holders access to their funds within a matter of a couple of days. The Fund Manager continues to prudently invest client monies with the appropriate portfolio diversification combined with careful and thoughtful fundamental analysis. Portfolio construction and risk management continues to be at the heart of our investment process. 2018 Outlook In 2017 politics dominated the news as expected and had a significant influence on the overall economic performance. Investors however looked past that and positioned for continued economic expansion within the country in one of the fastest growing regions in the world. With politics receding or at least the temperature around it and the government looking to continue with its development agenda, more attention at the stock market will at least be paid to the success and failure of companies as they look to grow and expand. Kenya economic growth is forecast by the World Bank to be in the region of 5.5% in 2018 in large part due to absence of the election and an improvement in rainfall and with the possibility that access to credit will improve for small and medium sized enterprises. Inflation is not expected to be a significant issue through the year though a lot depends once again depends on rainfall and the oil price and their impact on food and fuel prices. Barring any adverse shocks, the Kenya Shilling is expected to remain broadly stable though with a bias to depreciate modestly and is supported by high foreign exchange reserves and the intermittent activity by the Central Bank of Kenya to stem excessive volatility. Financial Planning All investors, whether with a short, medium or long term investment time frame, should each year under-go a reassessment of their financial plan and goals to ascertain whether they are on track to achieve them. In this regard Old Mutual has invested extensively in the numbers and capability of our client service officers and financial advisors that are always available to offer advice suitable to your unique individual circumstances and I encourage you to meet with them. Make a point of establishing a continuing relationship with your financial adviser and ensure that you have at least one meeting a year. We thank you for investing in the Old Mutual Unit Trusts and making us your partner. Gratitude I would like to convey my appreciation to the management and staff for their efforts during the year. My appreciation goes to the Board of Directors for their input, oversight and giving strategic direction to the company. I also extend my gratitude to our clients and business affiliates for your continued support over the years. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future. 12

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUND Report on the audit of the financial statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the following unit portfolios of the Old Mutual Unit Trusts Funds; 1. Old Mutual Equity Fund set out on pages 25 to 41 2. Old Mutual Money Market Fund set out on pages 43 to 59 3. Old Mutual Balanced Fund set out on pages 61 to 77 4. Old Mutual Bond Fund set out on pages 79 to 94 5. Old Mutual East African Fund set out on pages 96 to 112 These financial statements each comprise the statement of financial position at 31 December 2017, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Old Mutual Unit Trust Funds at 31 December 2017, and of their respective net income and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Capital Market Act (Collective Investments Schemes) Regulations, 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the funds in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Kenya, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Funds financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. There were no key audit matters identified from our audit. 20
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Other information The Trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information, 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 trustee for the financial statements The Trustee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Capital Market Act (Collective Investments Schemes) Regulations, 2001, and for such internal control as the trustee determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustee is responsible for assessing the Fund s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee either intend to liquidate the Funds or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The Trustee is responsible for overseeing the Fund s financial reporting process. Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 ISAs 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 statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 21
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees 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 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 statements 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 funds to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Trustees 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. From the matters communicated with the trustee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 22
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Report on other legal requirements We confirm that the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Capital Markets Authority (collective Investment Schemes (Regulations), 2001. The Capital Markets Authority (Collective Investments schemes) Regulations, 2001 also requires that in carrying out our audit we consider and report to you on the following matters. If the auditor is of the opinion that proper accounting records for the collective investment scheme have not been kept or that the accounts are not in agreement with those records, If the auditor has not been given all the information and explanation which, to the best of his knowledge and belief, are necessary for the purpose of his audit, or If the auditor is of the opinion that the information given in the report of the Trustee for that period is inconsistent with the accounts. We confirm that there are no matters to report in respect of the foregoing requirements. The engagement partner responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditor s report is FCPA Richard Njoroge - P/No.1244.

Notes 1 General information Old Mutual Equity Unit Trust Fund ( the Fund ) is a collective investment scheme which is registered under the Capital Markets Authority Act and is domiciled in Kenya. The Fund was established under a trust deed dated 1 April 2003. The address of its registered office is: Old Mutual Investment Services (Kenya) Limited Old Mutual Building Mara Road, Upper Hill P.O. Box 30059, 00100 Nairobi. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). The measurement basis applied is the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in Kenya Shillings (). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the trustee to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Fund s accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity relate to classification of assets, determination of whether the assets are impaired and the tax status of the Fund as explained in note 6. Changes in accounting policy and disclosures (i) New and amended standards adopted There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective in the period starting 1 January 2017 that have been applied by the Fund for the first time in the financial year beginning 1 January 2017. 29
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) Changes in accounting policy and disclosures (continued) (ii) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 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 statement. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund. The standards are set out below : IFRS 9, Financial instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2016. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in IAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the hedged ratio to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction contracts and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted. The trustees are assessing the impact of these standards on the Fund. There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Fund. 30
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (b) Revenue recognition Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis that takes into account the effective yield on the asset. Dividends are recognised as income in the year in which the right to receive payment is established. (c) Investments The Fund designates its investments in treasury bonds and equity securities at fair value through profit or loss while treasury bills, fixed deposits and corporate debt are at amortised cost. The Funds policy requires the investment manager and the trustee to evaluate information about financial assets on fair value basis together with other related information. Regular purchase and sale of investments are recognised at the trade date, the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the investment. Financial assets 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 de-recognised when rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income. Fixed deposits and corporate debt are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The fair values of financial assets that are traded in an active market are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Fund is the current bid price. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement 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. The Fund assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event ) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. 31
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Investments (continued) The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Fund uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balanced sheet date. Valuation techniques used include the use of comparable recent arms-length transactions referenced to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity specific inputs. For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. (d) Distribution All income arising from receipts of investment income is distributed to unit holders after provision for expenses and taxes. The unit holders have an option of taking their distributions in cash or having the distribution re-invested to form part of the unit holder capital balance. (e) Unit holder balances Unit holder balances are redeemable on demand at an amount equal to a proportionate share of the unit portfolio s net asset value. The balances are carried at the redemption amount that is payable at the balance sheet date if the holder exercised their right to redeem the balances. Unit holder balances are classified as equity. (f) Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. 32
3 Risk management objectives and policies Financial risk management The Fund generates revenues for unit holders by investing in various income generating activities which involve trading in the stock exchange and trading in government securities. These activities expose the Fund to a variety of financial risks, including credit, liquidity risk and the effects of changes in debt and equity market prices and interest rates. The Fund s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the investment managers under direction of the Old Mutual Investment Services ( OMIS ) Board. The OMIS Board works within policies approved by the Fund s Trustee. Investment managers review the market trends and information available to evaluate the potential exposures. They then arrive at strategies to mitigate against these risks. The OMIS Board provides the investment managers with written guidelines for appropriate investments. These guidelines are reviewed on a regular basis and are within the Collective Investment Scheme regulations issued by the Capital Markets Authority. Liquidity risk The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. It therefore invests the majority of its assets in investments that are traded at the Nairobi Stock Exchange. The Fund s listed securities are considered readily realizable, as they are listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange. In accordance with the Fund s policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Fund s liquidity position on a daily basis and has developed a comprehensive history of the Fund s daily and/or periodic liquidity requirements. Guided by this history, the manager maintains sufficient cash and near cash investments to meet the day to day redemption requirements. 33
3 Risk management objectives and policies (continued) Liquidity risk (continued) The table below illustrates the Fund s typical redemption history and cash/near cash holdings over the past two years: 2017 2016 Annual redemption 169,547,597 335,210,055 Annual daily average 652,106 1,289,269 The table below shows the Funds investments in cash and near cash equivalents at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016. Item 2017 2016 Cash and bank balances 11,608,847 14,902,574 Cash on call, deposits, treasury bills and bonds maturing in less than 3 months 34,893,872 68,751,379 Total 46,502,719 83,653,953 For a detailed analysis refer to note 8 Maturity analysis of financial liabilities and unit holders balances (all on demand) Item 2017 2016 Unit holder balances 1,539,215,792 1,392,410,690 Current liabilities 30,452,818 39,888,659 Total 1,569,668,610 1,432,299,349 Capital management The capital of the Fund is represented by unit holder balances. The amount of unit holder balances can change significantly on a daily basis as the Fund is subject to daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of unit holders. The Fund s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Fund s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for unit holders. 34
3 Risk management objectives and policies (continued) Market risk Price risk The Fund is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments in quoted shares and other financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss. The Fund is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity and debt securities, the Fund diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with limits set by the Fund. All quoted shares held by the Fund are traded on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE). At 31 December 2017, if the NSE Index had increased/decreased by 10% (2016: 10%) with all other variables held constant and all the Fund s equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation to the index, the profit and fair value gain/losses allocated to unit holders for the year would have been 89,362,380 (2016: 76,857,375) higher/lower, and the overall profit for the year and unit holders balances would have been 89,362,380 (2016: 76,857,375) higher/lower. Foreign exchange risk The Fund does not invest offshore and is therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk. Interest rate risk The Fund is subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. No limits are placed on the ratio of variable rate financial instruments to fixed rate financial instruments. Fixed interest rate financial instruments expose the Fund to fair value interest rate risk. Variable interest rate financial instruments expose the Fund to cash flow interest rate risk. The Fund s fixed interest rate financial instruments are government securities, deposits with financial institutions. The Fund s variable interest rate financial instruments relate only to floating rate corporate bonds. At 31 December 2017, had interest rates changed by 25 basis points (2016: 25 basis points) with all other variables remaining constant, the impact on net assets attributable to holders of units of the equity Fund for the year would have been as follows: Detail 2017 2016 +25bps 1,074,715 473,305-25bps (1,085,115) (471,525) 35
