notes to financial statements

1. the information provided in these financial statements and notes thereto is for the periods ended or as at march 31, 2010 and march 31, 2009, as applicable. in the year a fund or series is established or reinstated, ‘period’ represents the period from inception or reinstatement to the period end of that fiscal year. Refer to note 8 for the formation date of the fund and the inception date of each series. for funds formed prior to June 30, 2008, the fiscal year-end of the fund was changed from June 30 to march 31, effective march 31, 2009.

the fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units (referred to as “security” or “securities”) of multiple series. series of the fund are available for sale under simplified Prospectus or exempt distribution options.

2. Significant accounting Policies

these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GaaP”). GaaP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts, primarily valuation of investments, reported in the financial statements. actual results may differ from such estimates.

(a) adoption of new accounting policies

in march 2009, the canadian institute of chartered accountants (“cica”) issued amendments to section 3862, financial instruments – disclosures (“section 3862”) of the cica Handbook – accounting to align with international financial Reporting standard (“ifRs”) 7, financial instruments – disclosures. the amendments require all financial instruments measured at fair value to be classified into one of three levels that distinguish fair value measurements by the inputs used for valuation. the funds adopted these amendments effective for the year ended march 31, 2010. these classifications have been disclosed in note 8.

for funds formed prior to July 1, 2007, section 3862, section 3863, financial instruments – Presentation (“section 3863”) and section 1535, capital disclosure (“section 1535”) of the cica Handbook – accounting were adopted effective July 1, 2008.

section 3862 and section 3863 replaced section 3861, financial instruments – disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing disclosure and presentation requirements. the impact of the adoption of these two sections, which place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the fund manages those risks, has been disclosed in note 8. the impact of the adoption of section 1535, which establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed, has been disclosed in note 5.

the adoption of these new standards does not impact the daily valuation of the fund’s investments or net assets.

(b) Valuation

the fair value of investments as at the financial reporting period end is determined as follows:

investments listed on a public securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market are valued at the closing bid price. Where no closing bid price is available, the last sale or close price is used. mutual fund securities of an underlying fund are valued on a business day at the price calculated by the manager of such underlying fund in accordance with the constating documents of such underlying fund. unlisted or non-exchange traded investments, or investments where a last bid, sale or close price is unavailable or investments for which market quotations are, in mackenzie financial corporation’s (“mackenzie”) opinion, inaccurate, unreliable, or not reflective of all available material information, are valued at their fair value as determined by mackenzie using appropriate and accepted industry valuation techniques including valuation models. the fair value determined using valuation models requires the use of inputs and assumptions based on observable market data including volatility and other applicable rates or prices. in limited circumstances, the fair value may be determined using valuation techniques that are not supported by observable market data. the cost of investments is determined on a weighted average cost basis.

short-term notes are valued at the closing bid price. if the closing bid price is not available, such short-term notes are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. short-term notes held by the fund are included in the statements of net assets – cash and short-term investments.

accrued interest and dividends receivable, subscriptions receivable, receivables for securities sold, redemptions payable, management fees payable, operating expenses payable and payables for securities purchased are recorded at cost. since such assets and liabilities are short-term in nature, cost approximates fair value.

(c) investment transactions and income recognition

investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. income from investments is recognized on an accrual basis. interest income is accrued based on the number of days the investment is held during the period. dividends are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses on the sale of investments, including foreign exchange gains or losses on such investments, are calculated on an average cost basis. distributions received from an underlying fund are included in interest income, dividend income or realized gains (losses) on sale of investments, as appropriate.

income, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated daily among the series on a pro-rata basis.

transaction costs related to purchases and sales of investments are expensed and included in the statements of Operations – transaction costs.

2. Significant accounting Policies (cont’d)

(d) derivative transactions

certain funds may use derivatives (such as options, futures, forward contracts, swaps or customized derivatives) to hedge against losses caused by changes in securities prices, interest rates or exchange rates. certain funds may also use derivatives for non-hedging purposes in order to invest indirectly in securities or financial markets, to gain exposure to other currencies, to seek to generate additional income, and/or for any other purpose considered appropriate by each fund’s portfolio manager(s), provided that the use of the derivative is consistent with each fund’s investment objectives. any use of derivatives will comply with canadian mutual fund laws, subject to the regulatory exemptions granted to the funds, as applicable. Refer to “exemptions from national instrument 81-102” in the annual information form of each fund for further details, including the complete conditions of these exemptions.

Valuations of derivative instruments are carried out daily, using normal exchange reporting sources for exchange-traded derivatives and specific broker enquiry for over-the-counter derivatives.

the value of forward contracts is the gain or loss that would be realized if, on the valuation date, the positions were to be closed out. the change in value of forward contracts is included in the statements of Operations – change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

the value of futures contracts or swaps fluctuates daily, and cash settlements made daily, where applicable, by the fund are equal to the unrealized gains or losses on a “mark to market” basis. these unrealized gains or losses are recorded and reported as such until the fund closes out the contract or the contract expires. margin paid or deposited in respect of futures contracts or swaps is reflected as a receivable in the statements of net assets – margin on futures contracts. any change in the variation margin requirement is settled daily.

the value of options is the gain or loss that would be realized if, on the valuation date, the positions were to be closed out. the premium paid for purchased options or received for written options is included in the statement of investments as a cost of the options contracts.

Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments that are specific economic hedges are accounted for in the same manner as the underlying investments being hedged. Realized gains and losses from derivative instruments that are not specific economic hedges, but that are used to gain exposure to a particular market, are included in the statements of Operations – income (loss) from derivative contracts.

Refer to the schedule of derivative instruments, as applicable, included in the statement of investments for a listing of derivative positions as at march 31, 2010.

(e) securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions

certain funds are permitted to enter into securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions as set out in each fund’s simplified Prospectus. these transactions involve the temporary exchange of securities for collateral with a commitment to redeliver the same securities on a future date. income is earned from these transactions in the form of fees paid by the counterparty and, in certain circumstances, interest paid on cash or securities held as collateral. income earned from these transactions is recognized on an accrual basis and included in the statements of Operations – Revenue from securities lending.

all the counterparties have an approved credit rating equivalent to a standard & Poor’s credit rating of not less than a-1 (low) on their short-term debt and of a on their long-term debt. the value of cash or securities held as collateral must be at least 102% of the fair value of the securities loaned, sold or purchased.

(f) foreign exchange

foreign currency purchases and sales of investments and foreign currency dividend and interest income and expenses are translated to canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of the transactions.

foreign exchange gains (losses) on purchases and sales of foreign currencies are included in the statements of Operations – Realized gain (loss) on sale of investments.

the fair value of investments and other assets and liabilities, denominated in foreign currencies, are translated to canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on each business day.

(g) net assets per security

net assets per security is computed by dividing the net assets attributable to a series of securities on a business day by the total number of securities of the series outstanding on that day.

(h) net asset value per security

the canadian securities administrators (“csa”) amended its regulations effective september 8, 2008 such that the daily net asset Value (“naV”) of an investment fund may be calculated without reference to GaaP. the difference between naV and net assets (as reported in the financial statements) is mainly due to valuing securities at bid for financial statement purposes while naV typically utilizes closing price to determine fair value. Refer to note 8 for the fund’s naV per security.

2. Significant accounting Policies (cont’d)

(i) increase (decrease) from operations per security

increase (decrease) from operations per security in the statements of Operations represents increase (decrease) in net assets from operations attributable to the series for the period, divided by the weighted average number of securities outstanding during the period.

(j) comparative amounts

certain prior period comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

3. income taxes

the fund qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the provisions of the income tax act (canada) and, accordingly, is subject to tax on its income including net realized capital gains in the taxation year, which is not paid or payable to its securityholders as at the end of the taxation year. it is the intention of the fund to distribute all of its net income and sufficient net realized capital gains so that the fund will not be subject to income taxes other than foreign withholding taxes, if applicable.

losses of the fund cannot be allocated to investors and are retained in the fund for use in future years. non-capital losses incurred in 2006 and later may be carried forward up to 20 years, and non-capital losses incurred prior to 2006 may be carried forward up to 10 years, to reduce taxable income and realized capital gains of future years. capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future realized capital gains. Refer to note 8 for the fund’s loss carryforwards.

4. Management Fees and Operating expenses

mackenzie, manager of the fund, is paid a management fee for managing the investment portfolio, providing investment analysis and recommendations, making investment decisions, making brokerage arrangements relating to the purchase and sale of the investment portfolio and making arrangements with registered dealers for the purchase and sale of securities of the fund by investors. the management fee is calculated on each series of securities as a percentage of the net asset value of the series, as of the close of business on each business day.

each series of the fund is charged a fixed rate annual administration fee, including any implementation period adjustments, (“administration fee”), as applicable, and in return, mackenzie bears all of the operating expenses of the fund, other than certain specified fund costs. the administration fee is calculated as a fixed annual percentage of the daily net asset value of each relevant series of the fund.

Other fund costs include taxes (including, but not limited to Gst and income tax), interest and borrowing costs, fees and expenses of the mackenzie funds’ independent Review committee, any new fees related to external services that were not commonly charged in the canadian mutual fund industry as of June 15, 2007 and the costs of complying with any new regulatory requirements after June 15, 2007.

mackenzie may waive or absorb management fees and/or administration fees at its discretion and stop waiving or absorbing such fees at any time without notice. Refer to note 8 for the management fee and administration fee rates charged to each series of securities.

5. Fund’s capital

the capital of the fund is divided into different series with each series having an unlimited number of securities. the securities outstanding for the fund as at march 31, 2010 and 2009 are presented in the statements of changes in net assets. mackenzie manages the capital of the fund in accordance with the investment objectives as discussed in note 8.

6. Financial instruments Risk

i. Risk exposure and management

the fund’s investment activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, as defined in section 3862. the fund’s exposure to financial risks is concentrated in its investments, which are presented in the statement of investments, as at march 31, 2010, grouped by asset type, with geographic and sector information.

mackenzie seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of financial risks on the fund’s performance by employing professional, experienced portfolio advisors, by monitoring the fund’s positions and market events daily, by diversifying the investment portfolio within the constraints of the fund’s investment objectives, and where applicable, by using derivatives to hedge certain risk exposures. to assist in managing risks, mackenzie also uses internal guidelines that identify the target exposures for each type of risk, maintains a governance structure that oversees the fund’s investment activities and monitors compliance with the fund’s stated investment strategy, internal guidelines, and securities regulations.

notes to financial statements

6. Financial instruments Risk (cont’d)

ii. Liquidity risk

liquidity risk arises when the fund encounters difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they come due. the fund is exposed to liquidity risk due to potential daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. in accordance with securities regulations, the fund must maintain at least 90% of its assets in liquid investments (i.e., investments that can be readily sold). in addition, the fund retains sufficient cash and short-term investment positions to maintain adequate liquidity. the fund also has the ability to borrow up to 5% of its net assets for the purposes of funding redemptions. if the fund held any illiquid investments as at march 31, 2010, they have been identified in the statement of investments.

iii. Currency risk

currency risk arises when the fair value of financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the canadian dollar, which is the fund’s reporting currency, fluctuates due to changes in exchange rates. note 8 summarizes the fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to currency risk.

iv. Interest rate risk

interest rate risk arises when the fair value of interest-bearing financial instruments fluctuates due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. cash and short-term investments do not expose the fund to significant amounts of interest rate risk. note 8 summarizes the fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to interest rate risk.

v. Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. all investments present a risk of loss of capital. this risk is managed through a careful selection of investments and other financial instruments within the parameters of the investment strategy. except for options written and futures contracts, the maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. the maximum risk of loss on options written and futures contracts is equal to their notional values. However, options written are used within the overall investment management process to manage the risk from the underlying investments and do not typically increase the overall risk of loss to the fund. note 8 summarizes the fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to other price risk.

vi. Credit risk

credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the fund. note 8 summarizes the fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to credit risk.

all transactions in listed securities are executed with approved brokers. to minimize the possibility of settlement default, securities are exchanged for payment simultaneously, where market practices permit, through the facilities of a central depository and/or clearing agency where customary.

the carrying amount of investments and other assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure as at march 31, 2010.

certain funds may enter into securities lending transactions with counterparties whereby the funds temporarily exchange securities for collateral with a commitment by the counterparty to deliver the same securities on a future date. credit risk associated with these transactions is considered minimal as all counterparties have a sufficient, approved credit rating and the value of cash or securities held as collateral must be at least 102% of the fair value of the securities loaned.

certain funds may be exposed to credit risk from the counterparties to the derivative instruments used by the funds. this credit risk is minimized by ensuring that all the counterparties to derivative instruments have an approved credit rating equivalent to a standard & Poor’s credit rating of not less than a-1 (low) on their short-term debt and of a on their long-term debt.

vii. Underlying funds

certain funds that invest in underlying funds may be indirectly exposed to currency risk, interest rate risk, other price risk and credit risk from fluctuations in the value of financial instruments held by the underlying funds. note 8 summarizes the fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to these risks from underlying funds.

7. Future accounting Standards

the canadian accounting standards Board (“acsB”) has confirmed its plan to adopt all ifRs, as published by the international accounting standards Board, for most publicly accountable entities on or by January 1, 2011. On may 12, 2010, the acsB announced it will propose amendments which will provide most investment funds with the option to defer adoption of ifRs until fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. mackenzie is currently assessing the impact of this announcement on the fund and its plans for adopting ifRs. accordingly, the fund will adopt ifRs for either its fiscal period beginning april 1, 2011 or 2012, and will issue its initial financial statements in accordance with ifRs, including comparative information, for either the interim period ending september 30, 2011 or 2012.

in accordance with the fund’s valuation policy, the fund applies fair value adjustment factors to the quoted market prices for non-north-american equities when north american intraday stock market movements exceed pre-determined tolerances. the adjustment factors are applied in order to estimate the impact on fair values of events occurring between the close of the non-north american stock markets and the close of business for the fund. if fair value adjustment factors are applied, non-north american equities are classified as level 2. consequently, during the period ended march 31, 2010, non-north american equities frequently transferred between level 1 (unadjusted quoted market prices) and level 2 (adjusted market prices). as of march 31, 2010, these securities were classified as level 1.

north american equity positions with a fair value of $1,401 were transferred from level 2 to level 1 during the period as a result of changes in activities in the market for those equities.
