NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013<br />
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)<br />
a) Basis of preparation (continued)<br />
New accounting standards<br />
Certain new Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet<br />
effective and have not been adopted by the Sub-Funds for the annual reporting year ended 30 June 2013.<br />
The directors of the Sub-Funds have not early adopted any of these new or amended standards or<br />
interpretations as listed below:<br />
i) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement<br />
IFRS 9 was issued by the IASB in November 2009 and amended in December 2011. It introduces new<br />
requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets effective from January 1, 2015 with<br />
early adoption permitted.<br />
ii) IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
IFRS 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of IAS 27 Consolidated<br />
and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and<br />
SIC 12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities.<br />
iii) IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities<br />
IFRS 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements,<br />
associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by<br />
management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint<br />
arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.<br />
iv) IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement<br />
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for determining the fair value of assets and<br />
liabilities. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance<br />
on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may<br />
result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.<br />
IFRS 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This<br />
includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair<br />
value determined.<br />
IFRS 13 will be adopted by the Sub-Funds on the next reporting period <strong>com</strong>mencing 1 July 2013. The Sub-<br />
Funds have not yet decided when to adopt IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IFRS 12. Management does not expect this<br />
will have a significant effect on the Sub-Funds’ financial statements.<br />
Standards and interpretations that are not expected to have a material impact on the Sub-Funds have not<br />
been included.<br />
b) Foreign currency translation<br />
i) Functional and presentation currency<br />
In view of the international nature of the operations of each of the Sub-Funds, the amounts shown in these<br />
financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$”) which are the Sub-Funds’ functional and<br />
presentation currency. The Manager considers the United States dollar to be the functional currency of the<br />
Macquarie IPO China Concentrated Core Fund, the Macquarie IPO China Gateway Fund, and the<br />
Macquarie Asia New Stars Fund due to unitholders’ funds being raised in United States dollars.<br />
