Financial Statements<br />
This section contains three financial statements, each of which has a specific role and contains different<br />
information:<br />
• The Statement of net assets presents all the items that make up the fund’s net assets as at<br />
June 30, 2011. The main item is the “Investments” section, which reflects the overall value of the<br />
securities portfolio.<br />
• The Statement of operations breaks down the overall income and expenses generated by the fund<br />
during the period.<br />
• The Statement of changes in net assets per Series reconciles the changes in net assets per Series<br />
during the period, listing the unit purchases and redemptions carried out by investors, as well as<br />
distributions.<br />
Finally, the notes to the financial statements provide additional information. For example, they outline the<br />
main accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.<br />
Notice to Unitholders<br />
Under National Instrument 81-106 – Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure, Part 2, subsection 2.12(2), if an<br />
auditor has not performed a review of the interim financial statements, they must be accompanied by a notice<br />
indicating that the financial statements have not been reviewed by an auditor. The auditors of the funds appointed<br />
by the unitholders, have not reviewed the accompanying financial statements.
Message to Unitholders<br />
The first half of 2011 has proven to be full of market ups and<br />
downs, leaving more than a few investors feeling unsettled.<br />
Geopolitical tensions, natural disasters and a faltering economy<br />
in some European nations cast a pall of uncertainty and volatility<br />
over markets.<br />
The MSCI World Index remained practically unchanged in June, amidst<br />
fears related to sovereign debt issues in certain European nations. Greece<br />
was in the spotlight due to new concerns related to the country’s<br />
financial wellbeing. One year after a €110 billion austerity plan was<br />
submitted by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund,<br />
markets now fear that a restructuring of the country’s debt is inevitable.<br />
Moreover, a restructuring plan put forward by France is currently being<br />
studied by eurozone banks and insurers.<br />
Despite a dour economic outlook, hopeful signs are present. The situation<br />
in the eurozone remains precarious, however Spain and Italy are showing<br />
signs of stabilization. South of the border, the declining greenback<br />
represents a substantial advantage for U.S. exporters. While employment<br />
figures continue to be scrutinized, unemployment claims are falling and<br />
the number of consumers planning to buy a home is rising, a sign that the<br />
worst may be over. Despite the major challenges that Japan still faces,<br />
there is every indication that a recovery will begin sooner than expected.<br />
Because one of our objectives is to provide you with ongoing financial<br />
information about developments affecting your portfolio, we are pleased<br />
to provide you with a copy of our 2011 interim report. We hope that it<br />
will answer your questions and we invite you to contact your financial<br />
advisor should you require any additional information.<br />
In the U.S., Standard & Poor’s decision to downgrade the country’s debt<br />
outlook from stable to negative, as it had been growing unsustainably<br />
since the Second World War, only impacted the U.S. dollar with markets<br />
escaping unscathed. In Japan, three months after the devastating<br />
earthquake, the after-effects are gradually fading and the country<br />
appears to be on the long slow road to recovery. The economy is still<br />
impacted by the effects of three main factors, namely the drop in<br />
manufacturing and exports, declining household incomes and the<br />
continually rising yen. Lastly, the geopolitical crisis in the Arab world has<br />
brought about its share of fears about the possible impact on crude<br />
prices in recent months.<br />
We constantly strive to provide you with the most beneficial investment<br />
solutions. Thank you for your trust in the <strong>Jarislowsky</strong> <strong>Fraser</strong> Select Funds.<br />

Notes to Financial Statements<br />
as at June 30, 2011 (unaudited)<br />
1- GOVERNING STATUTES<br />
The following are open-ended mutual fund trusts formed under the laws<br />
of the Province of Ontario by an instrument of trust on the following<br />
dates:<br />
Funds<br />
Date Established<br />
<strong>Jarislowsky</strong> <strong>Fraser</strong> Select Income Fund October 7, 2010<br />
<strong>Jarislowsky</strong> <strong>Fraser</strong> Select Balanced Fund October 7, 2010<br />
<strong>Jarislowsky</strong> <strong>Fraser</strong> Select Canadian Equity Fund October 7, 2010<br />
Collectively the mutual funds trusts are known as the “funds”. The<br />
managers of the funds, National Bank Securities Inc., and the trustee of<br />
the funds, Natcan Trust Company, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of<br />
National Bank of Canada.<br />
2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian<br />
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the<br />
Regulation 81-106 on continuous information.<br />
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies<br />
consistently followed by the funds:<br />
Valuation of investments<br />
Investments are valued at fair value and include accrued interest on the<br />
money market securities. The fair value of investments as at the<br />
financial reporting date is determined as follows:<br />
• Investments held that are traded in an active market through<br />
recognized public stock exchanges, over-the-counter markets or<br />
through recognized investment dealers are valued at their bid prices<br />
at their valuation date. Investments held include money market<br />
instruments, bonds and debentures as well as shares;<br />
• Investments held that are not traded in an active market are valued<br />
based on the results of valuation techniques, using observable<br />
market inputs, on criteria which is designated by the manager. The<br />
fair value of certain securities may be estimated using valuation<br />
techniques based on assumptions that are not supported by<br />
observable market inputs.<br />
Cost is determined according to the average cost method.<br />
An adjustment factor is calculated each valuation day for securities<br />
traded on international markets. This factor reflects the impact on the<br />
fair value of securities of an event that would have occurred after the<br />
closing of the foreign markets. This new information available can now<br />
be taking into consideration in the fair value of securities.<br />
Transaction costs<br />
Transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions, incurred at the time<br />
of purchase and sale of securities by the funds are recognized as<br />
“Transaction costs on purchase and sale of investments” in the<br />
Statement of Operations.<br />
Investment transactions and recognition of income and expenses<br />
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Income<br />
and expenses are recorded using the accrual basis of accounting.<br />
Interest income is recorded as earned and dividend income is recorded<br />
on the ex-dividend date. Foreign revenue is presented net of the<br />
withholding taxes deducted by foreign countries. Gains or losses arising<br />
from the sale of investments and unrealized appreciation or depreciation<br />
on investments are determined from the cost using the average cost basis.<br />
The income, the realized and unrealized gains (losses) are divided<br />
between the different series to pro rata of net asset value of each series.<br />
The method of dividing up specific expenses is made directly between<br />
the funds and different series of the same fund. Specific expenses<br />
include the custodial fees and the rights and deposits.<br />
The method of splitting common expenses to all funds as well as to<br />
different series is calculated based on a percentage determined by the<br />
pro rata of the average net asset value, of the number of unitholders of<br />
each fund, or serie, and according to the total number of funds. Common<br />
expenses include the directors’ fees of independent review committee,<br />
audit fees, legal fees and securityholders’ reporting costs.<br />
Financial instruments<br />
The classification of financial assets and liabilities under Section 3862<br />
is as follows:<br />
• Investments, cash and bank overdraft are classified as held for<br />
trading and are recorded at fair value;<br />
• Subscriptions receivable, interest and dividends receivable and other<br />
assets receivable are classified as loans and amounts receivable and<br />
are recorded at amortized cost;<br />
• Unrealized depreciation on foreign exchange contracts, redeemed<br />
units payable, investments payable and accrued expenses are<br />
classified as financial liabilities and are recorded at amortized cost.<br />
Accounting estimates<br />
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian<br />
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that<br />
affect the amounts recorded in the financial statements and disclosed<br />
in the notes. These estimates, including the fair value of investments<br />
and accrued expenses, are based on management’s best knowledge of<br />
current events and actions that the funds may undertake in the future.<br />
Actual results may differ from these estimates.<br />
Valuation of units<br />
The net asset value (NAV) of a unit of each series within a fund is<br />
determined each business day when the Toronto Stock Exchange is open<br />
by dividing net asset value attributable to each serie by the number of<br />
units outstanding for the corresponding serie.<br />

respect the provisions of Section 3855 of the Canadian Institute of<br />
Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook for financial statements<br />
reporting according to Canadian GAAP, without changing their method<br />
of calculating the transactional net asset value for the purposes of units<br />
purchases, transfers and redemptions. According to the requirements of<br />
the CSA, reconciliation between the transactional NAV and the net assets<br />
calculated under Section 3855 of the fund is presented in note 5 of the<br />
financial statements.<br />
Increase in net assets from operations per unit<br />
The increase or decrease in net assets from operations per unit<br />
presented in the statement of operations represents the increase or<br />
decrease in net assets from operations for the period, divided by the<br />
average number of units outstanding during the period.<br />
Distributions to unitholders<br />
The net income and net realized capital gains of each of the funds are<br />
distributed to unitholders according to the period specified in the<br />
following table, pro rata to the units held by them.<br />
Distribution of<br />

Foreign currency translation<br />
The fair value of investments and all other assets and liabilities in<br />
foreign currencies is translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates<br />
in effect at the date of the statement of net assets.<br />
Purchases and sales of investments, as well as income and expenses are<br />
translated at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of<br />
such transactions.<br />
Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are presented<br />
in “Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currencies” and “Unrealized<br />
gains (losses) on foreign currencies”.<br />
3- FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CHANGES<br />
Future accounting standards<br />
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB)<br />
confirmed that all publicly accountable enterprises would be required to<br />
report under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as<br />
published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for<br />
fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. However, in January<br />
2011, the AcSB approved a deferral of the effective date of entry in<br />
force of IFRS from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2013 for investment<br />
companies that are currently applying the Accounting Guideline AcG-18<br />
“Investment Companies”.<br />
The deferral of the transition date to IFRS has been put in place to<br />
ensure that investment companies will not have to modify their actual<br />
accounting treatment for entities in which they have control while the<br />
IASB is completing the standard about investment companies it plans<br />
to publish.<br />
Consequently, the Funds will publish their first audited financial<br />
statements in accordance with IFRS for the year ending December 31,<br />
2013 and will present comparative figures in accordance with IFRS for<br />
the year ending December 31, 2012, including an opening balance sheet<br />
as at January 1, 2012.<br />
Given the deferral of the effective transition date to IFRS, management<br />
is closely monitoring the evolution of the standards and is adjusting its<br />
plan consequently. In the periods preceding the first fiscal year in which<br />
IFRS will be adopted, the impacts of transitioning to IFRS on the financial<br />
statements of the Funds will be disclosed as they become known.<br />
4- RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS<br />
Investment activities of the funds expose them to some financial risks.<br />
The manager of the funds seeks to minimize these risks by employing<br />
experienced portfolio managers that manages the security portfolios of<br />
the funds on a daily basis according to market events and the<br />
investment policy of each fund.<br />
The funds apply the requirements of Section 3862 of the CICA Handbook<br />
on presenting information with respect to the nature and extent of risks<br />
arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those<br />
risks. This accounting standard has no impact on the daily net asset<br />
value of the funds.<br />
Currency risk<br />
Changes in the value of the Canadian Dollar compared to foreign<br />
currencies will affect the Canadian Dollars value of any foreign securities<br />
in a fund. Bonds issued in foreign currencies are listed in the investment<br />
portfolio. Foreign stocks are also exposed to currency risks since the<br />
value of such stocks are translated to Canadian dollars to determine<br />
their fair value. In order to quantify the currency risk, a table appears<br />
at the investment portfolio of each fund having a significant exposure<br />
to foreign currencies at the end of the period. Numbers shown include<br />
monetary and non-monetary. In practice, actual results may differ from<br />
this analysis and the difference can be significant.<br />
Credit risk<br />
Credit risk is the risk that a commitment with the fund is not respected<br />
by the counterparty of a financial instrument. The credit risk of the<br />
funds is derived primarily from debt securities. The fair value of<br />
investments represents the maximum credit risk at the end of the period.<br />
The fair value of a financial instrument reflects the creditworthiness and<br />
the credit rating of the issuer. The funds invest in financial assets whose<br />
rating was established by recognized rating agencies. A table containing<br />
22
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)<br />
as at June 30, 2011 (unaudited)<br />
the distribution of securities under their credit rating is in portfolio<br />
investments for each fund whose exposure to credit risk is important at<br />
the end of the period. In practice, actual results may differ from this<br />
analysis and the difference can be significant.<br />
The securities transactions are settled upon delivery by brokers. The<br />
default risk is considered low because the supply of securities is<br />
conducted once the broker has received payment. The transaction fails<br />
when a party fails to meet its commitments.<br />
According to the policy of investment funds, the credit risk is monitored<br />
regularly by the manager of the funds.<br />
Interest rate risk<br />
Changes in market interest rates expose income securities, such as<br />
bonds, to interest rate risk. Funds that hold income securities are<br />
exposed to this risk since changes in prevailing market interest rates will<br />
affect the value of income securities. The sensitivity of the funds’<br />
interest rate was evaluated according to the weighted duration of the<br />
portfolio. In order to quantify the interest rate risk, a table appears at<br />
the investment portfolio of each fund having a significant exposure to<br />
interest rate risks at the end of the period. In practice, actual results<br />
may differ from this analysis and the difference can be significant.<br />
Price risk<br />
Price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate<br />
as a result of changes in market prices caused by factors specific to a<br />
security, its issuer or all factors affecting a market or a market segment<br />
(other than those resulting from currency risk and interest rate risk).<br />
Maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their<br />
fair value.<br />
In order to quantify the price risk, a table appears at the investment<br />
portfolio of each fund having a significant exposure to price risk at the<br />
end of the period. In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis<br />
and the difference can be significant.<br />
Liquidity risk<br />
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of an entity having difficulty meeting<br />
its obligations or making a commitment and suffering a financial loss<br />
to another party. The unitholders may redeem their units each valuation<br />
day. In accordance with securities regulations, at least 90% of a<br />
portfolio should be composed of liquid investments traded on active<br />
markets as it can fluctuate. Because the funds invest in active markets,<br />
they can dispose of their assets quickly. The deadlines for financial<br />
liabilities remain below three months for all funds, thereby the funds<br />
maintain a level of cash and short-term investments that the manager<br />
consider sufficient to maintain the necessary liquidity.<br />
Fair value of financial instruments<br />
For presentation purposes, the information on financial instruments are<br />
required to be presented according to a hierarchy of assessments of fair<br />
value. This three-level hierarchy is established according to the<br />
transparency of data taken into account in assessing the fair value of<br />
assets and liabilities and is presented below:<br />
• Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical<br />
instruments in active markets that the reporting entity has the<br />
ability to access at the measurement date;<br />
• Level 2 — Inputs are quoted prices of similar instruments in active<br />
markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets<br />
that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a<br />
valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs<br />
that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable<br />
market data by correlation or other means;<br />
• Level 3 — One or more significant inputs used in a valuation<br />
technique are unobservable for the instruments.<br />
Determination of fair value and the resulting hierarchy requires the use<br />
of observable market data whenever available. The classification of a<br />
financial instrument in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of<br />
input that is significant to the measurement of fair value.<br />
A table indicating the breakdown of securities according to their level<br />
appears in the investment portfolio.<br />
5- RECONCILIATION OF NET ASSET VALUE AND NET ASSETS<br />
Following the application of the Section 3855, net assets under GAAP,<br />
as at June 30, 2011, was determined by measuring the fair value of<br />
financial assets and liabilities quoted in an active market. This fair value<br />
is defined as the bid price for assets and the asking price for liabilities.<br />
The net asset value of operations is measured using the closing price of<br />
assets and liabilities. The adjustment included in the Statement of<br />
Operations under “Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on<br />
investments” is presented in the following table:<br />

net asset value on valuation date in the normal course of operation.<br />
Some conditions related to redemption of the funds’ units held by the<br />
related entities apply. Those conditions are detailed in the simplified<br />
prospectus.<br />
11- CAPITAL MANAGEMENT<br />
The fund’s capital corresponds to the net assets. The fund’s capital is<br />
managed in accordance with each of the fund’s investment objectives,<br />
policies, and restrictions, as outlined in the fund’s prospectus. Changes<br />
in the fund’s capital during the year are reflected in the Statements of<br />
Changes in Net Assets.<br />
12- INCOME TAXES<br />
The funds are qualified as mutual fund trusts under the Income Tax Act<br />
(Canada) and the Taxation Act (Quebec). Each trust distributes all of its<br />
net income and a sufficient portion of its net realized capital gains in<br />
order to not be subject to income taxes.<br />
Under the Income Tax Act, mutual funds may claim a refund of the<br />
capital gains tax. A mathematical formula that takes units redeemed<br />
during the year into account is used to maximize the claim in order to<br />
retain capital gains in the funds and minimize income taxes payable by<br />
unitholders.<br />
The fiscal year of the mutual fund trusts ends on December 15.<br />
As determined on the tax returns of 2010, accumulated capital losses<br />
that can be used to reduce capital gains in future years and accumulated<br />
non-capital losses that can be used to reduce capital gains or net<br />
income in future years are as follows:<br />

<strong>Jarislowsky</strong> <strong>Fraser</strong> Select Canadian Equity Fund 2,057 - n/a<br />
Under the Income Tax Act (Canada), the non-capital losses can be carried<br />
forward for up to 20 years and capital losses can be carried forward<br />
indefinitely.<br />
