DIRECTORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

The Board of Directors of JS Investments Limited has pleasure in presenting to you the un-audited �nancial statements of JS Fund of Funds (The Fund) for the half year ended December 31, 2018.

Economic Review:Pakistan’s economy grew by 5.79% in �nancial year 2018 (FY18); even as GDP growth hit a 12 year high, econom-ic vulnerabilities unraveled in second half of 2018 (2HFY18) and continued into �rst half of 2019 (1HFY19). The economic malaise primarily emanated from worsening current account and �scal account de�cits.

The current account de�cit for the �rst half of 2019 (6MFY19) clocked in at USD 7,790 million, down 2.9% year on year (YoY). The de�cit is in sharp contrast to the �rst half of 2018 (6MFY18) de�cit of USD 3,615 million. The current account de�cit worsened primarily due to a sharp jump in imports (31% in two years) which was not met by a commensurate increase in exports or remittances, the two main sources of balance of payments (BOP) �nancing.

The import bill rose due to rising oil prices (Brent crude rose ~27% YoY in 1HFY19 and ~49% from 1HFY17 levels) which were propped by an OPEC production cut in early 2017. Quantitative easing in US and Europe post 2008 led to low interest rates and high global growth, which acted as a further positive trigger for oil prices.

In addition to the rise in oil prices, currency parity being held back over the past few years, �scal imprudence and low domestic interest rates, raised income levels. The �scal de�cit rose from 5.8% of GDP in 2017 to 6.6% of GDP in 2018 due to falling revenues and a higher primary de�cit (tax revenues have low buoyancy in Pakistan due to structural issues).

Due to the challenging economic situation, the State Bank of Pakistan raised the Discount Rate from 7.0% to 10.5% and devalued the PKR by ~14% against the US Dollar. This was in addition to the 0.75% rise in the Discount rate and 10% PKR devaluation during 2HFY18.

In times of economic distress, Pakistan has a history of opting for IMF programs to prop up the economy. Under the ambit of the IMF, the country has usually taken a strict dose of monetary and �scal tightening while structural reforms have taken a backseat as they are di�cult to execute and politically unpopular. To this end, the government endeavored to arrange non-IMF �nancing to reduce reliance on the Fund; so far, the government has secured ~USD 12.0 billion in �nancing from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Negotiations with the IMF continue, albeit at a slower pace as the government negotiates a less severe austerity package from the Fund with a stricter focus on structural reforms.

Equity Market Review:The worsening economic situation and delay in acquiring an IMF program by the government led to consid-erable uncertainty for the capital market. The government aims to delay or reduce securing of funds from the IMF in order to maintain economic sovereignty. While this is a commendable e�ort, but policy uncertainty, and the rise in interest rates have been negative for the equity markets.

As a result, the KSE100 index declined by 11.6% in 1HFY19. The decline in the index was broad based with the exception of the Tobacco sector. Commercial banks were the largest negative contributors, primarily due to Habib Bank Limited and United Bank Limited. Both stocks declined due to company speci�c concerns. Oil & Gas Exploration was the second largest contributor due to the fall in oil prices in the latter part of 1HFY18. Brent crude fell from a high of ~$85/bbl and touched the $50/bbl mark due to extension in US sanctions on oil exports by Iran, rising oil output from Saudi Arabia, United States and Russia and concerns over a global economic slowdown due to the Sino-American trade war and rising global interest rates.

Similarly, both the KMI30 and the KSE30 indices were down 10.6% and 5.9% respectively. The decline in the former was more pronounced due to the higher weight of the Oil & Gas Exploration sector.

Going forward, we believe equity performance will be selective. The banking sector is expected to be the biggest bene�ciary of rising interest rates while Oil & Gas Exploration may bene�t from a bounce back in oil prices as OPEC production cuts take e�ect from January 2019. On the other hand, Fertilizer and Oil Marketing sectors will continue to maintain stable earnings as their business models are not linked to the broader economic performance.

The focus in 2019 is likely to shift towards �xed income securities and mutual funds as investors adopt a more conservative approach.

Money Market Review:The State Bank of Pakistan raised the Discount Rate from 7.0% to 10.50% in 1HFY19 in order to curb aggregate demand and reduce the current account de�cit. Anticipating the rise in interest rates, our primary focus was on �oating rate �xed income securities with the objective to maximize interest rate sensitivity for the income and money market mutual funds by investing at the very short end of the yield curve.

The strategy paid dividends in 1HFY19 as the SBP raised the Discount rate by 4.25% between January and November 2018. During the period, based on careful evaluation we selectively invested in Term Finance Certi�cates and Sukuks issued by blue chip corporations which were expected to be relatively una�ected by the economic slowdown and exhibit healthy interest coverage ratios.

The market for government securities continued to shift towards the shorter end in 1HFY19. In the govern-ment auction, the o�ered amount for Pakistan Investment Bonds totaled PKR 109 billion in 1HFY19, 41% of this was in the shortest tenor three year category. Against this only PKR 39 billion were accepted i.e. 35.7% of the o�ered amount at a weighted average yield of 11.5%.

The prices of Ijara Sukuk experienced signi�cant decline due to the policy rate hike of 425 basis points. Out of the four outstanding Islamic bonds, Ijara XVI being the �oater was a preferable investment in the Islamic Bond market. The government borrowing through Ijara Sukuk constitutes less than 4.00% of the total debt pro�le, and is expected to shrink further with the upcoming maturities of Ijara XVII, XVIII, and XVIIII in February, March and June 2019 respectively. Furthermore, there was no news on the issuance of fresh Ijara Sukuk during 1HFY19.

Going forward we believe interest rates may peak over the coming 12 months. If Pakistan does enter a Fund program, the requirement to reduce government borrowing from the State Bank may be imposed similar to previous programs. Such a requirement would increase activity in government securities. Participation in PIBs is also expected to be higher than in 1HFY19, if interest rates peak out. This may lead to a sharp jump in �xed income mutual fund yields, which may further reduce the incentive to invest in the equity market.

Review of Fund Performance:The Fund return was -3.38% during the six months period ended December 31, 2018 against the benchmark return of -1.33%. Net Assets moved from PKR 275.59 million (June 30, 2018) to PKR 217.33 million as at December 31, 2018.

Fund and Asset Manager Rating:The matter in respect of de�ning the methodology of the rating of schemes falling in the 'Fund of Funds category’ is under consideration by the two rating agencies. In view of the same, JSIL shall continue to follow up with the respective rating agencies and shall proceed with the formal rating once the matter is concluded.

JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited has a�rmed JS Investments’ Management Quality Rating of “AM2“(AM-Two) and has upgraded the outlook to “positive”. The rating denotes High Management Quality.

Acknowledgment:The directors express their gratitude to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and Central Depository Company Limited (CDC) for their valuable support, assistance and guidance. The Board also thanks the employees of the Management Company for their dedication and hard work and the unit holders for their con�dence in the Management.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' was issued on July 24, 2017. This standard is adopted locally by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and is e�ective from accounting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2018, and consequently has been adopted by the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund has applied the requirements of IFRS 9 to instruments that continue to be recognised as at July 01, 2018 and has not applied the requirements to instruments that have already been derecognised as at July 01, 2018. Comparative amounts in relation to instruments that continue to be recognised as at July 01, 2018 have not been restated as allowed by IFRS 9. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for:

1) The classi�cation and measurement of �nancial assets and �nancial liabilities, 2) Impairment of �nancial assets, and 3) General hedge accounting. Details of these new requirements as well as their impact on the Fund's �nancial statements are described below except the General Hedge Accounting which the Fund does not apply. The Fund has applied IFRS 9 in accordance with the transition provisions set out in IFRS 9. Classi�cation and measurement of �nancial assets IFRS 9 contains three principal classi�cation categories for �nancial assets: - Measured at amortized cost (“AC”), - Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and - Fair value through pro�t or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial asset at amortised cost A �nancial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

1) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash �ows; and

2.2

2.3

3.

3.1

3.2

3.2.1

2) the contractual terms of the �nancial asset give rise on speci�ed dates to cash �ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial Asset at FVTOCI A �nancial asset is measured at FVTOCI only if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as atFVTPL: 1) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contrac tual cash �ows and selling �nancial assets; and 2) the contractual terms of the �nancial asset give rise on speci�ed dates to cash �ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. FVTOCI �nancial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value recognised in OCI. Financial asset at FVTPL All other �nancial assets are classi�ed as measured at FVTPL (for example: equity held for trading and debt securities not classi�ed either as AC or FVTOCI). Business Model Assessment Under IFRS 9, a necessary condition for classifying a loan or receivable at amortized cost or FVTOCI is whether the asset is part of a group or portfolio that is being managed within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash �ows (Amortized Cost), or to both collect contractual cash �ow and to sell (FVTOCI). Otherwise, the asset is classi�ed and measured at FVTPL. The business model is determined under IFRS 9 at a level that re�ects how groups of �nancial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. It is not an instrument-by-instru-ment analysis; rather it can be performed at a higher level aggregation. It is typically observable through the activities that the entity undertakes to achieve the objective of the business model; all relevant evidence that is available at the date of the assessment (including history of sales of the �nancial assets) are considered. Following three business models are de�ned under the IFRS 9: 1) Hold to collect business model 2) Hold to collect and sell business model 3) FVTPL business model Hold to collect business model If an entity’s objective is to hold the asset (or portfolio of assets) to collect the contractual cash �ows, the assets (or the portfolio) will be classi�ed under the ‘hold to collect’ business model, subjective to meeting the Sole Payment of Principle and Interests (SPPI) requirements.

Hold to collect and sell business model

An entity can hold �nancial assets to achieve a particular objective by both collecting contractual cash �ow and selling �nancial assets; this will qualify for the “hold to collect and sell business model” (also known as the FVTOCI business model), subjective to meeting the Sole Payment of Principle and Interests (SPPI) requirements. The objective of this business model is achieved by collecting contrac-tual cash �ows and selling �nancial assets, unlike the ‘hold to collect’ business model discussed above.

JS Fund of Funds

FVTPL business model If a �nancial asset or group of �nancial assets is not held within the ‘hold to collect’ or the ‘hold to collect and sell’ business model, then it is measured at FVTPL, the default category. Classi�cation and measurement of �nancial liabilities With regard to the measurement of �nancial liabilities designated as at fair value through pro�t or loss, IFRS 9 requires as follows:

3.2.2

Impairment of �nancial assets The SECP/Commission has through its letter no. SCD/AMCW/RS/MUFAP/2017-148 dated November 21, 2017 has deferred the applicability of the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 for debt securities on mutual funds. Therefore the Fund will not be subject to the impairment provisions of IFRS 9. Meanwhile, asset management companies shall continue to follow the requirements of Circular 33 of 2012. Impact of change in accounting policies due to adoption of IFRS 9 There were no �nancial assets or �nancial liabilities which the Fund had previously designated as at FVTPL under IAS 39 that were subject to reclassi�cation or which the Fund has elected to reclassify upon the application of IFRS 9. There were no �nancial assets or �nancial liabilities which the Fund has elected to designate as at FVTPL at the date of initial application of IFRS 9.

The table below shows information relating to classi�cation of �nancial assets and �nancial laibilities of the fund as a result of transition to IFRS 9.

The amount of change in the fair value of a �nancial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of such changes in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in pro�t or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a �nancial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassi�ed to pro�t or loss. Under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the �nancial liability designated as fair value through pro�t or loss is presented in pro�t or loss.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of this condensed interim �nancial information in conformity with accounting and reporting standards requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgements that a�ect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the period of revision.

The signi�cant estimates, judgements and assumptions made by the management in applying the accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are same as those that applied to �nancial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2018 except as explained in note 3.2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Fund's �nancial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the �nancial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2018.

Clause 47B of Part IV of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 provides exemption from withholding tax deduction on dividends received by the collective investment scheme from investee companies.

However a letter dated June 30, 2010 issued by Federal Board of Revenue to Assistant Director, Central Directorate of National Savings, Islamabad states that the said exemption will be applicable if exemption certi�cate under section 159 (1) of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 is issued by the concerned Commissioner of Inland Revenue.

Based on the above letter, above amount of withholding tax has been deducted by the certain investee companies on dividends. An exemption certi�cate was issued by the concerned Commis-sioner of Inland Revenue e�ective up to June 30, 2018. Accordingly the management is in the process of recovering the above tax amount deducted. Furthermore, a stay order has also been obtained by the Management Company of the Fund from further deduction of income tax at source.

The legal status of applicability of Sindh workers' welfare fund is same as that disclosed in note 12.1 to the annual audited �nancial statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2018.

As there is loss for the six months period year ended December 31, 2018, therefore, no provision for SWWF has been recognised in these condensed interim �nancial statements. Had the provision not been recognized, the NAV per unit of the Fund as at December 31, 2018 would have been higher by Rs.0.36 per unit (June 30, 2018: 0.29 per unit).

The legal status of applicability of Federal Excise Duty on the Fund is same as disclosed in note 12.2 to the annual audited �nancial statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2018, and the appeal, �led by tax authorities against the order in the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan dated July 16, 2016, is pending for decision.

In view of above, the Management Company, as a matter of abundant caution, is carrying provision for FED for the period from January 13, 2013 to June 30, 2016 aggregating to Rs. 0.451 million. Had the provision not been retained, NAV per unit of the Fund as at December 31, 2018 would have been higher by Rs. 0.11 per unit (June 30, 2018: Rs. 0.086 per unit). The Sindh Provincial Government has levied Sindh Sales Tax at the rate of 13% on Management Company's remuneration.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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.

Underlying the de�nition of fair value is the presumption that the Fund is a going concern without any intention or requirement to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms.

The fair value of �nancial assets and liabilities traded in active markets i.e. listed equity shares are based on the quoted market prices at the close of trading on the period end date. The quoted market prices used for �nancial assets held by the Fund is current bid price.

A �nancial 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. IFRS 13, 'Fair Value Measurements' requires the Fund to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that re�ects the signi�cance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 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 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)
