STONE MUTUAL FUNDS

CORPORATE OVERVIEWThe Stone Mutual Funds (“the Funds”) were originally established by Richard G. Stone in 1995.

Stone Mutual Funds are offered by Stone Asset Management Limited (“SAM”) and are available through registered financial advisors in all provinces and territories of Canada. SAM, as the investment fund manager and the portfolio manager for all Stone Mutual Funds, is responsible for hiring and managing the relationships with our sub-advisors, and provides investment management services for these funds.

SAM has engaged its affiliate, Stone & Co. Limited (“SCL”) as administrator of the Funds and fund distributor. SCL is based in Toronto with regional sales offices in Canada established in the east coast, west coast and southwest Ontario.

Stone & Co. Limited, Stone Asset Management Limited and GaleForce Administration Services Inc. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Stone Investment Group Limited, an independent, 100% Canadian-owned wealth management company. Collectively we refer to the companies as “Stone”.

OUR INVESTMENT PRODUCTSSAM currently offers the Canadian investor eight mutual funds, one TSX-listed investment fund, and since 2003, 17 resource flow-through limited partnerships, however only the Stone 2013 Flow-Through Limited Partnership remains active. Collectively we refer to them as the “Funds”.

Should you require any additional information on any of these products, please contact your financial advisor, review our information at www.stoneco.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, or call us at 800 795 1142.

OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCEAs part of our ongoing commitment we would like to advise you of our dedication to our corporate governance policies; the way we acknowledge trust. Corporate governance means having the appropriate policies, procedures and structures in place to ensure the independence of the board of directors of a corporation from its management to ensure that the corporation is appropriately managed and directed. The objective of good corporate governance is to ensure that companies are not only well run and profitably managed, but also adhere to high standards of legal and ethical principles as well as conduct.

In the mutual fund industry, good corporate governance is an important consideration for portfolio advisors in selecting the right companies in which to invest. The equivalent concept for mutual fund investors themselves is fiduciary responsibility; the obligation fund managers have to their securityholders to manage fund assets in a prudent fashion.

At Stone, we are committed to our responsibilities on behalf of all those who invest with us. In particular, we are committed to ensuring:

1. Preservation of investor capital through long-term growth exceeding the rate of inflation with an acceptable level of risk as defined by each Fund’s investment objective and strategy.

2. That each individual investment within the Fund portfolios reflects proper corporate governance standards, while still allowing management to maximize securityholder value.

In everything we do at Stone, our goal is to provide investors with clarity, comfort and commitment by:

1. Protecting fund assets.

2. Ensuring that all regulatory requirements are satisfied.

3. Ensuring that the investment process and each fund’s Investment Mandate are adhered to.

4. Overseeing fund administration systems.

5. Ensuring that Stone’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is adhered to and that all staff go about their work with the interests of our investors first.

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short-term in nature.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not have significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund primarily invests in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being nil% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – nil% and January 1, 2013 – nil%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not have significant exposure to credit risk.

Concentration riskThe following table summarizes the portfolio investments held by the Fund:

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Dividend Growth Class (the “Fund”) is to achieve above-average long-term capital growth that is consistent with a conservative investment philosophy encompassing a diversified portfolio approach. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of Canadian companies that demonstrate financial strength and good growth potential.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification across asset classes and industry sectors.

SAM also manages risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may also be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry-specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity-related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in equity securities. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June 30, 2014 with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately $22,340 (December 31, 2013 – $20,961 and January 1, 2013 – $18,616). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of the Fund. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

The Fund had exposure to the foreign currencies shown below in Canadian dollar terms. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTES ON FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short-term in nature.

The table below summarizes the exposure to interest rate risk of the Fund and the pro-rata share of the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund:

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund and the Underlying Stone Agribusiness Fund retain sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund and the Underlying Fund primarily invest in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being 0.5% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – 1.1% and January 1, 2013 – 1.6%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund and the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund and the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund did not have significant exposure to credit risk.

Concentration riskThe following table summarizes the portfolio investments held by the Fund:

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Resource Plus Class (the “Fund”) is to provide above-average growth of capital by investing in equity securities of issuers with high growth potential with an emphasis on issuers operating in resource sectors, including oil and gas, mining, minerals and forest products, and in equity securities of companies which support these resource-based companies, as well as in securities of income trusts and royalty trusts in the resource sectors. The Fund may invest in other mutual funds where the other mutual funds are managed by Stone Asset Management Limited.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification within resource sectors.

SAM also manages risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry-specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity-related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in equity securities. The Fund and the Underlying Stone Agribusiness Fund moderate this risk through a careful selection of securities within the parameters of the investment strategy. The Fund may be exposed to indirect market price through its pro-rata investment in the Underlying Stone Agribusiness Fund. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June 30, 2014 with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately $759 (December 31, 2013 – $460 and January 1, 2013 – $727). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark.

In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of the Fund. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

The Fund had foreign currency risk from direct investments, as well as indirect foreign currency risk in its investments in the Exchange Traded Fund. The Fund’s exposure of currency risk is based on its direct investments and on the Fund’s pro-rata share of the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund at period end which is shown below in Canadian dollar terms. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTES ON FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

During the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the reconciliation of investments categorized Level 3 as follows:

June 30, 2014

Beginning Balance $ 24

Purchases 60

Ending Balance $ 24

Total change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period for assets held at December 31, 2013 $ (9)

The Fund applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs to calculate the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments of $71 as of June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013  –  $24). The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of these financial instruments primarily include key variables related to the volatility of the underlying position, current market conditions and recent financings by the company, if any. These securities are affected by market activity in their relevant sectors and therefore generally fluctuate similarly. If relevant market-related inputs increased or decreased by 20%, with all other variables remaining constant, net assets would have possibly increased or decreased by approximately $14 (December 31, 2013 – $5).

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Flagship Growth & Income Fund Canada (the “Fund”) is to provide superior investment returns combined with a steady stream of current income by investing primarily in Canadian equity and fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest in other mutual funds where the other mutual funds are managed by Stone Asset Management Limited.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification across asset classes and industry sectors. The fixed income component of the Fund is managed by a Portfolio Sub-advisor, Aviva Investors Canada Inc.

SAM also manages risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry-specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity-related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in equity securities. The Fund and the Underlying Investment Funds moderate this risk through a careful selection of securities within the parameters of the investment strategy. The Fund may be exposed to indirect market price through its pro-rata investment in the Underlying Investment Funds. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June  30, 2014, with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately $3,083 (December 31, 2013 – $2,892 and January  1, 2013 – $2,772). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark.

In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of the Fund. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

The Fund had foreign currency risk from direct investments as well as indirect foreign currency risk in its investments in the Underlying Investment Funds. The Fund’s exposure of currency risk is based on its direct investment and on the Fund’s pro-rata share of the Underlying Investment Funds at period end which are shown below in Canadian dollar terms. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

STONE & CO. FLAGSHIP GROWTH & INCOME FUND CANADA

FUND SPECIFIC NOTES ON FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

An increase or decrease of 1% in interest rates would increase or decrease fair value for the period ended June 30, 2014 by $3,759 (December 31, 2013 – $3,393 and January 1, 2013 – $4,140). The Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes was estimated using the weighted average duration of the bonds. In practice, actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

The table below summarizes the exposure to interest rate risks of the Fund and the pro-rata share of the Underlying Investment Funds:

Term of Bonds

Bonds < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years Total

June 30, 2014 – 6,249 4,233 35,000 45,482

December 31, 2013 – 5,032 7,270 32,067 44,369

January 1, 2013 – 8,398 8,043 33,342 49,783

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund and the Underlying Investment Funds retain sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund and the Underlying Investment Funds primarily invest in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being nil% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – nil% and January 1, 2013 – 0.1%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund and the Underlying Investment Funds are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

The Fund and Underlying Investment Funds were invested in debt securities with the following credit ratings:

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The Fund applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs to calculate the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments of $42 as of June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – $42). The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of these financial instruments primarily include key variables, related to the volatility of the underlying position, current market conditions and recent financings by the company, if any. These securities are affected by market activity in their relevant sectors and therefore generally fluctuate similarly. If relevant market-related inputs increased or decreased by 5%, with all other variables remaining constant, net assets would have possibly increased or decreased by approximately $2 (December 31, 2013 – $2).

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short-term in nature.

The table below summarizes the exposure to interest rate risk of the Fund and the pro-rata share of the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds:

Debt Securities < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years Total

June 30, 2014 – – – – –December 31, 2013 – – – – –January 1, 2013 269 – – – 269

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Flagship Stock Fund Canada (the “Fund”) is to provide superior investment returns through capital growth by investing primarily in Canadian equity securities. Current income is a secondary investment objective. The Fund may invest in other mutual funds where the other mutual funds are managed by Stone Asset Management Limited.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification across asset classes and industry sectors. The Fund may also invest in foreign equity securities which may range from 0% to 100% from time to time.

SAM also manages risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry-specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity-related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in equity securities. The Fund and the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds moderate this risk through a careful selection of securities within the parameters of the investment strategy. The Fund may be exposed to indirect market price risk through its pro-rata investment in the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June 30, 2014, with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately $1,263 (December 31, 2013 – $1,172 and January 1, 2013 – $1,086). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark.

In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of the Fund. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

The Fund had foreign risk from direct investments as well as indirect foreign currency risk in its investments in the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds. The Fund’s exposure of currency risk is based on its direct investments and on the Fund’s pro-rata share of the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds at period end which are shown below in Canadian dollar terms. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

2014 INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS32

STONE & CO. FLAGSHIP STOCK FUND CANADA

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund and the Underlying Funds retain sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund and the Underlying Funds primarily invest in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being 0.3% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – 0.3% and January 1, 2013 – 2.6%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund and the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund and the Underlying Investment & Exchange Traded Funds did not have significant exposure to credit risk.

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

During the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the reconciliation of investments categorized Level 3 as follows:

June 30, 2014

Beginning Balance $ 71

Purchases –

Sales –

Net transfers into and/or out of Level 3 –

Realized gain (loss) –

Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) –

Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 914

Ending Balance $ 71

Total change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period for assets held at December 31, 2013 $ (319)

The Fund applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs to calculate the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments of $71 as of June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – $71). The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of these financial instruments primarily include key variables, related to the volatility of the underlying position, current market conditions and recent financings by the company, if any. These securities are affected by market activity in their relevant sectors and therefore generally fluctuate similarly. If the assumption around the estimated cash flows fluctuated, the impact on net assets would be within a range of $0 to $71. (December 31, 2013 – $0 to $71).

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short-term in nature.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not have significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund primarily invests in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being nil% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – nil% and January 1, 2013 – nil%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not have significant exposure to credit risk.

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Flagship Global Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is to provide superior long–term investment returns through capital growth. To achieve this objective, the Fund will invest primarily in common shares and debt obligations anywhere in the world other than Canada. The portfolio will predominately consist of large capitalized growth companies anywhere in the world other than Canada.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The Portfolio Sub–Advisor, Rathbone Unit Trust Management Limited, aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification across asset classes and industry sectors.

The Manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry–specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity–related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in equity securities. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June 30, 2014, with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately  $2,381 (December 31, 2013 – $2,353 and January 1, 2013 – $1,501). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark.

In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of the Fund. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

The Fund had significant exposure to the foreign currencies shown below in Canadian dollar terms. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short–term in nature.

The table below summarizes the exposure to interest rate risk of the Fund and the pro-rata share of the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund:

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund and the Underlying Fund retain sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund and the Underlying Fund primarily invest in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being nil% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – nil% and January 1, 2013 – nil%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund and the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund and the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund did not have significant exposure to credit risk.

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Growth Industries Fund (the “Fund”) is to provide superior capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian equity securities. Current income is a secondary investment objective. The Fund may invest in other mutual funds where the other mutual funds are managed by Stone Asset Management Limited.

The Fund and the Underlying Stone Agribusiness Fund may also invest in foreign equity securities in order to achieve its objective.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification across asset classes and industry sectors. The Fund may also invest in foreign equity securities which may range from 0% to 100% from time to time.

SAM also manages risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry – specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity–related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in securities. The Fund and the Underlying Stone Agribusiness Fund moderate this risk through a careful selection of securities within the parameters of the investment strategy. The Fund may be exposed to indirect market price risk through its pro-rata investment in the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June 30, 2014, with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately $152 (December 31, 2013 – $149 and January 1, 2013 – $85). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark.

In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskThe Fund had foreign currency risk from direct investments as well as indirect foreign currency risk in its investments in the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund. The Fund’s exposure of currency risk is based on its direct investments and on the Fund’s pro–rata share of the Underlying Exchange Traded Fund at period end which is shown below in Canadian dollar terms, the functional currency of the Fund. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

The Fund invested in debt securities with the following credit ratings:

*Credit ratings obtained from Dominion Bond Rating Services.

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013.

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. Flagship Money Market Fund Canada (the “Fund”) is to earn income at current interest rates, while providing preservation of capital and liquidity by investing primarily in high-quality short-term money market instruments.

The manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited (SAM), aims to manage risk by investing in fixed income securities with high credit quality.

SAM also manages risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry-specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity-related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund was not exposed to market price risk.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of the Fund. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not have any foreign currency exposure.

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short-term in nature.

The table below summarizes the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk:

Debt Securities < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years Total

June 30, 2014 3,848 – – – 3,848

December 31, 2013 3,597 – – – 3,597

January 1, 2013 5,695 – – – 5,695

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity.

The Fund primarily invests in short-term investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not hold any illiquid securities.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund are to be settled within three months.

Interest rate riskA Fund that invests in fixed income securities, such as bonds and money market instruments, is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates are rising, the value of these investments fall; when interest rates are falling, the value of these investments rise. Moreover, fixed income securities with longer terms to maturity are usually more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

There is minimal sensitivity to changes in interest rates for money market securities since these are usually held to maturity and tend to be short–term in nature.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013 the Fund did not have significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

The Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. The Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund primarily invests in securities that are actively traded in public markets and can be readily disposed of to increase liquidity. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies any securities that are not traded on an active market, being nil% of total net assets as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – nil% and January 1, 2013 – nil%).

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, all existing liabilities of the Fund are to be settled within three months.

Credit riskWhen a company or government issues a fixed income or debt security, it has an obligation to pay interest and repay a specific amount on the maturity date. Credit risk is the risk that the company or government will not meet that obligation. Credit risk is lowest among issuers that have good credit ratings from recognized credit rating agencies and higher among issuers with a low credit rating or no credit rating at all. These securities usually offer high interest rates to compensate for the increased risk. Changes in the credit risk of a security can affect its liquidity making it more difficult to sell.

As at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, the Fund did not have significant exposure to credit risk.

Risk managementThe investment objective of the Stone & Co. EuroPlus Dividend Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is two-fold: (i) to provide a sustainable stream of income; and (ii) to provide long-term capital growth. The Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of companies in Europe and other developed countries around the world. The Fund will generally have significant investment in European markets. There is no restriction on the economic sectors or geographic areas in which the Fund may invest.

The Fund’s investments may be exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of other market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

The Portfolio Sub-advisor, Rathbone Unit Trust Management Limited, aims to manage risk as part of its investment process through the thorough analysis and careful selection of securities and diversification across asset classes and industry sectors.

The Manager of the Fund, Stone Asset Management Limited, aims to manage risk by ensuring the portfolio management activities of the Fund comply with its investment objectives and strategies and applicable securities legislation.

Market price riskThe value of securities in the Fund’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than those specific to the individual securities. Market price fluctuations may be caused by general economic and financial conditions or industry-specific matters. Political, social and environmental factors can also affect the value of any investment. The value of equity-related securities, such as warrants, options, and convertible securities is also affected by market price risk.

The most significant exposure to market price risk for the Fund arises from its investment in equity securities. If equity prices on the respective stock exchanges had increased or decreased by 5%, as at June 30, 2014 with all other factors remaining constant, net assets would have increased or decreased by approximately $776 (December 31, 2013 – $566 and January 1, 2013 – $332). This change is estimated using the weighted average beta of the Fund’s equity portfolio which is calculated internally based on the correlation to the benchmark.

In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

Foreign currency riskCurrency risk arises when financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar. When a Fund buys an investment priced in a foreign currency and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the foreign currency changes unfavorably, it could reduce the value of the Fund’s investment.

The Fund had significant exposure to the foreign currencies shown below in Canadian dollar terms, the functional currency of the Fund. Also shown below is the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets, all other variables held constant, as a result of 5% changes in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, actual trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

FUND SPECIFIC NOTES ON FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(continued)

Fair value disclosureThe Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 (in thousands of dollars; per security amounts are expressed in whole dollars)

the Funds’ transfer agent is International Financial Data Services and the Funds’ administrator is Stone & Co. Limited.

The Schedule of Investment Portfolio of each of the Funds is as at June 30, 2014. The Statements of Financial Position are as at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and January 1, 2013. The Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Securities, and Cash Flows are for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. For Funds or series that started during either period, the information presented is for the period from the Fund or series inception date, respectively, to June 30, 2014 and 2013, as applicable. Throughout these financial statements, reference to the reporting period refers to the reporting period described above.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of Stone Asset Management Limited on August 28, 2014.

These interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Funds’ independent auditors.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance and adoption of IFRSThese financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), using a transition date of January 1, 2013. The Funds adopted this basis of accounting on January 1, 2014 as required by Canadian securities legislation and the Canadian Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014, including the required comparative information, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, and with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB and using the accounting policies the Funds expect to adopt in their financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim financial statements do not include all the necessary annual disclosures in accordance with IFRS. Previously, the Funds prepared interim and annual financial statements in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Canadian GAAP”) as defined in Part V of the CPA CANADA Handbook. The comparative information has been restated from Canadian GAAP to comply with IFRS. The Funds have consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of their IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2013 and throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 9 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Fund’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the Fund’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 prepared under Canadian GAAP. The policies applied in these interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2014, which is the date on which the interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Manager. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Funds’ annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014 could result in restatement of these interim financial statements, including the transition adjustments recognized on transition to IFRS. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ Canadian GAAP annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

An explanation of the transition to IFRS is presented in Note 9 to these financial statements and includes an explanation of initial elections made upon first-time adoption of IFRS and a reconciliation of amounts previously reported under Canadian GAAP to amounts reported under IFRS for comparative financial information. The adoption of IFRS has not had a material impact on the Fund’s operations, investment objectives and financial statements.

(b) Basis of presentationThese financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS and have been prepared on a historical-cost basis, except financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), except where otherwise indicated.

(c) Financial instruments

(i) ClassificationThe Funds classify their financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, into the following categories:

• Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss – this category has two sub-categories:

1. THE FUNDS

The Funds are comprised of six open-ended mutual fund trusts (the “Trusts”) and Stone & Co. Corporate Funds Limited, a mutual fund corporation with two classes of shares (“SCFL” or the “Corporation”). The Trusts and the classes of the Corporation are collectively referred to as the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”. The Trusts were established under the laws of the Province of Ontario pursuant to a Declaration of Trust and are authorized for each series to issue an unlimited number of securities without par value. SCFL is a corporation continuing under the laws of Canada, having authorized capital consisting of an unlimited number of common securities and twenty-five classes of special securities; currently, only two classes have been established. Each class of special securities may, in turn, issue an unlimited number of securities.

The Funds’ registered office is 36 Toronto Street, Suite 710, Toronto, Ontario.

The Funds were established on the following dates:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

interest rate, the Fund estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments, but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts.

The Funds’ obligation for net assets attributable to holders of redeemable securities is recognized on trade date and is presented in the redemption of redeemable securities amount on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Securities. The Fund’s outstanding redeemable securities’ entitlements include a contractual obligation to distribute any net income and net realized capital gains annually in cash (at the request of the security holder) and therefore the ongoing redemption feature is not the securities’ only contractual obligation. Consequently, the Fund’s outstanding redeemable securities are classified as financial liabilities in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. The Fund’s obligations for net assets attributable to holders of redeemable securities are presented at their redemption amounts.

In the normal course of business each Fund is exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: market risk (comprised of market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The value of investments in a Fund’s portfolio can fluctuate on a daily basis as a result of changes in interest rates, market and economic conditions and factors specific to individual securities within the Fund. The level of risk depends on the Fund’s investment objectives and the type of securities it invests in. See the individual “Fund Specific Notes on Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments” for each Fund for consideration of the financial instrument risks inherent in the financial instruments held by each Fund.

The Funds classify fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Additional quantitative disclosures are required for Level 3 securities. These are shown in each Fund Specific Notes on Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments.

Valuation of investments Fair value is price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and marketable securities) are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. The Funds use the last traded price market price for both financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the bid-ask spread.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market, including over-the counter derivatives, is determined using valuation techniques. The Funds use a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Valuation techniques include the use of comparable recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and other techniques commonly used by market participants and which make the maximum use of observable inputs.

The fair value of investments as at the financial reporting date is determined as follows:

i) Equities and Exchange Traded Funds

Each listed investment security is valued at the latest close price reported by the principal securities exchange on which the investment is traded. Securities which are traded over-the-counter are priced at the close price quoted by a major dealer in such securities.

ii) Investments in Underlying Investment Funds

Investments in Underlying Investment Funds are valued at the closing Net Asset Value per security (“NAVPS”) of the units owned as calculated by the administrator of the Underlying Investment Funds at the valuation date.

• Financial assets and liabilities held for trading: financial assets or financial liability are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling and/or repurchasing in the near term and there is evidence of recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking from price fluctuations. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading. The Funds do not classify any derivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship. The Funds classify forward currency contracts and written options as held for trading due to the near term nature of these investments and recent pattern of selling/repurchasing in the near term.

• Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition: Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition are financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Funds’ documented investment strategy. The Funds classify equities, debentures and other interest bearing investments as financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss as the Funds’ policy requires the IFM and the Board of Directors of the IFM to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information to ensure the Funds are being managed in accordance with their documented investment strategy.

• �Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Receivables are non-derivative financial assets that include interest, dividends, investments sold, subscriptions and HST receivables.

• Other financial liabilities – this category includes all financial liabilities, other than those classified as held for trading. The Funds classify payable for investments purchased, redemptions payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable as other financial liabilities.

(ii) Recognition, derecognition and measurement

The Funds recognize a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date which is the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the investment. Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs related to financial instruments are expensed as incurred on the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.

After initial measurement, the Funds measure financial instruments which are classified at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Interest and dividends earned on financial assets are recorded separately in interest income or dividend income. Interest is recognized as income on the debt instrument’s stated rates of interest. Dividends are recognized as income on ex-dividend date.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired.

Financial liabilities, other than those classified as fair value through profit or loss, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities related to financial instruments are derecognized.

The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Measurement (“IFRS 13“) methodologies. The fair values of certain securities are determined using valuation models that are based, in part, on assumptions that are not supported by observable market inputs. These methods and procedures may include, but are not limited to, performing comparisons with prices of comparable or similar securities, obtaining valuation related information from issuers, significant market or security-specific events, and/or other analytical data relating to the investment and using other available indication of value. The fair values of such securities are also affected by the perceived credit risks of the issuer, predictability of cash flows and length of time to maturity. These values are independently assessed internally to ensure that they are reasonable. However, because of the inhere uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair values for the aforementioned securities may be materially different from the values that would be used had a ready market for the security existed. The frequency with which these procedures are used is unpredictable and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (“NAV”) calculations under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Cost of investmentsThe cost of investments represents the amount paid for each security, excluding transaction costs, and is determined on an average cost basis.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash is comprised of cash on deposit with financial institutions and bank overdrafts. Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments having terms to maturity of 90 days or less.

Transaction costsTransaction costs such as brokerage commissions incurred in the purchase and sale of securities at FVTPL by the Funds are included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the period in which they are incurred.

Investment transactions and income recognitionInvestment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and (losses) from the sale of investments and unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) of investments are calculated on an average cost basis. Investment income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income and expense is recorded as incurred and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investment trusts and Underlying Investment Funds are recorded as income, dividends, capital gains or a return of capital as the case may be. Distributions treated as a return of capital reduce the average cost of the underlying investment.

Foreign currency translation The reporting currency for the Funds is the Canadian dollar which is the functional currency of the Funds. Any currency other than Canadian dollars represents foreign currency to the Funds. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date the transactions occur. Realized foreign currency gains (losses) on investments are included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and derivatives”. Unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on investments are included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives”. Realized and unrealized exchange gains (losses) on assets (other than investments and derivatives), liabilities and investment income denominated in foreign currencies are included in “Net realized and change in unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss)” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the measurement date.

Securities valuationThe series of securities of the Funds are offered for sale on a continuous basis and may be purchased or redeemed on any valuation date at the Net Asset Value (NAV) per security (NAVPS). A valuation date is each day on which the Toronto Stock Exchange is open for business. The NAV of each series of a Fund is the value of the series’ proportionate share of the assets of the Fund less proportionate share of common liabilities and specifically allocated liabilities. The NAVPS of a series of securities of a Fund is calculated by dividing the NAV of the series of the Fund by the total number of securities outstanding in that series.

Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable securities per security“Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable securities per security” is disclosed in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and represents, for each series of securities, the increase or decrease in net assets for the period attributable to that series divided by the weighted average number of securities of the series outstanding during the period.

iii) Unlisted warrants

Unlisted warrants are valued based on a pricing model which considers factors such as the market value of the underlying security, strike price, volatility and terms of the warrant.

iv) Options

An option is a contractual arrangement under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right, but not the obligation, either to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) at or by a set date or during a set period, a specific amount of securities or a financial instrument at a pre-determined price. The seller (writer) receives a premium from the purchaser in consideration for the assumption of a future securities price.Purchased options that are exchange traded are valued at the latest close price reported by the principal securities exchange on which the investment traded; any purchased options that are over the counter are valued at the close price as quoted by a major dealer. The premium paid for purchased options is included in the average costs on the Schedule of Investment Portfolio. When a purchased option expires without being exercised the premium paid will be treated in as a loss and included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and derivatives”. If the purchased option is exercised the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds are greater or less than the premium paid at the time of purchase. When a purchased option is exercised, the cost of the underlying security purchased is increased by the premium paid at the time of purchase. Written option premiums received by the Funds are, so long as the options are outstanding at period end, reflected in the Statements of Financial Position as “Written options”. The liability for written options gets revalued at an amount equal to the current fair value of an option that would have the effect of closing the position. Written options that are exchange traded are valued at the latest close price reported by the principal securities exchange on which the investment traded; any written options that are over-the counter are valued at the ask price as quoted by a major dealer. If the option expires without being exercised, the premium received will be treated as gains and is included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and derivatives”. If the option is exercised, in the case of a call option the premium received will be added to the proceeds of disposition of the underlying security and included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and derivatives”. If the option is exercised, in the case of a put option the cost of the underlying security will be reduced by the amount of premium received and included in the Schedule of Investment Portfolio.

v) Bonds

Bonds are valued based on the latest close prices obtained from recognized independent brokers. The difference between the total fair value and the total cost of securities in (i) to (v) is included in the “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives” on the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

vi) Short-term investments

Short-term investments are accounted for at fair value, which generally approximates amortized cost. For the Money Market Fund, the cost of short-term investments together with interest accrued approximates their fair value.

vii) Forward currency contracts

A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties (the Fund and the counterparty) to purchase or sell a currency against another currency at a set price on a future date.Open forward currency contracts are valued at the gain or (loss) that would arise as a result of closing the position on the valuation date. The unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts is reflected in the Statements of Financial Position as “Unrealized gain on forward currency contracts” or “Unrealized loss on forward currency contracts”. The unrealized gain or (loss) for the period is reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward currency contracts”. The realized gain or (loss) on forward currency contracts arises as a result of closing the position on settlement date. The realized gain or (loss) is reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as “Realized gain (loss) on forward currency contracts”. The value of any security for which, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, the published market quotations are not readily available shall be the fair value as determined by the Investment Manager in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value

STONE MUTUAL FUNDS

Use of judgments

Classification and measurement of investments and application of the fair value option In classifying and measuring financial instruments held by the Funds, SAM is required to make significant judgments about whether or not the business of the Funds is to invest on a total return basis for the purpose of applying the fair value option for financial assets under IAS 39. The most significant judgments made include the determination that certain investments are held-for-trading and that the fair value option can be applied to those which are not.

Investment entity In determining whether the Funds are an investment entity, SAM may be required to make significant judgments about whether the Funds have the typical characteristics of an investment entity. The Funds primarily obtain capital from one or more investors for the purpose of providing investment management services, commit to their investors that the business purpose is to invest the capital solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both, and measure and evaluate the performance of their investments on a fair value basis.

Use of estimatesThe preparation of the financial statements requires SAM to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Key areas of estimation where SAM has made difficult, complex or subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain include those relating to fair value of financial instruments. Therefore, the actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are reviewed on a regular basis and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in the period which they become known. SAM believes that the potential significant areas where judgment is necessarily applied are those which relate to fair value of financial instruments. When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Statements of Financial Position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognized as standard within the industry. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of liquidity and model inputs such as volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

3. REDEEMABLE SECURITIES

Securities issued and outstanding represent the redeemable securities of the Funds. Redeemable securities of the Funds are issued and redeemed at the then current NAVPS at the option of the securityholder. Securityholders are entitled to dividends/distributions when declared. Dividends/distributions on securities of the Funds are reinvested in additional securities or at the option of the securityholders, paid in cash, or both.

The Fund’s redeemable securities are classified as financial liabilities due to its ongoing obligation to pay redemptions at the securityholders request and also distribute net income & net realized capital gains annually.

The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Securities identify changes in the Funds’ capital during the period. The capital of each of the Funds is managed in accordance with each of the Funds’ investment objectives, including managing the liquidity in order to be able to meet redemptions as discussed in the respective Fund Specific Notes on Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments.

The Manager acted as the Administrator of Stone 2012 Flow-Through Limited Partnership, and Stone 2011 Flow-Through Limited Partnership, (collectively the “Stone FTLPs”). During the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as applicable, all outstanding securities of each of these Stone FTLPs were exchanged for Series A securities of Stone & Co. Resource Plus Class. The assets of the Stone FTLPs were transferred on a tax deferred basis. The following table summarizes the details of those transactions:

Stone FTLPDate of transaction

Number of Resource Plus securities issued

Value of Resource Plus securities issued Exchange ratio

Stone 2012 FTLP February 7, 2014 2,027 $ 6,195 3.6606

Stone 2011 FTLP February 1, 2013 1,495 $ 4,579 3.9863

4. EXPENSES

Management feesThe Manager is paid a management fee for managing the Funds’ overall business and day to day operational services.

The management fee for each series is an annualized fee plus applicable taxes based on the Net Asset Value of the respective series of the Fund and is accrued daily and paid monthly. There is no duplication of fees if a Fund invests in an Underlying Stone Investment/Exchange Traded Fund.

The Trusts qualify as mutual fund trusts under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Corporation qualifies as Mutual Fund Corporations under the Income Tax Act (Canada). All of the Trusts and Corporation’s net income for tax purposes and realized net capital gains in any taxation year are required to be distributed to securityholders such that no income tax is payable by the Trusts or Corporation. Since the Trusts and Corporation do not record income tax expense, deferred tax assets associated with the tax benefits of capital and non-capital losses will not be recognized on the Statements of Financial Position.

Withholding taxes imposed by certain countries on investment income and capital gains are recorded as an separate expense item on the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

a) The Trusts

Capital losses realized by the Trust may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future realized capital gains. Non-capital losses may be carried forward up to twenty years and applied against net taxable capital gains and net income in future years.

7. INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT ENTITIES

Some of the Funds (“Top Funds”) invest in other Stone Funds (“Underlying Funds”), in accordance with IFRS 10-Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”); these Underlying Funds are not consolidated by the Top Funds but instead carried at FVTPL. The change in fair value for these Underlying Funds is included in the Top Fund’s Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) under “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives”. IFRS 10 allows for an exemption to consolidate provided that the Top Fund meets the definition of an “investment entity” The Top Fund has determined that it meets the definition of an investment entity and as a result, it measures subsidiaries at FVTPL. An investment entity is an entity that: obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services, commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both, and measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. The most significant judgment that the Top Fund has made in determining that it meets this definition is that fair value is the primary measurement attribute used to measure and evaluate the performance of substantially all of its investments. The Fund’s investments may also include associates and structured entities which are designated at FVTPL.

9. TRANSITION TO IFRS

The effect of the Funds’ transition to IFRS is summarized below:

Transition elections

The only voluntary exemption adopted by the Funds upon transition was the ability to designate a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit and loss upon transition to IFRS. All financial assets designated at FVTPL upon transition were previously carried at fair value under Canadian GAAP as required by Accounting Guideline 18, Investment Companies.

Statements of Cash Flows

Under Canadian GAAP, the Funds were exempt from providing Statements of Cash Flows. IAS 1 requires that a complete set of financial statements include a Statements of Cash Flows for the current and comparative periods.

Classification of redeemable securities by the Funds

Under Canadian GAAP, the Funds accounted for their redeemable securities as equity. Under IFRS, IAS 32 requires that the securities of equity which include a contractual obligation for the issuer to repurchase or redeem them for cash or another financial asset be classified as financial liability. The Funds’ redeemable securities do not meet the criteria in IAS 32 for classification as equity and therefore, have been reclassified as financial liabilities on transition to IFRS.

Revaluation of investments at FVTPL

Under Canadian GAAP, the Funds measured the fair values of their investments as defined in the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (“Section 3855”). Under Section 3855, investments that are quoted in active markets shall be measured based on the bid price for long positions and the ask price for short positions. Under IFRS, the Funds measure the fair values of their investments using the guidance in IFRS 13. IFRS 13 requires the use of a price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances. Therefore IFRS 13 allows the use of mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions that are used by market participants as a practical expedient for fair value measurement within the bid-ask spread.

As a result, upon adoption of IFRS an adjustment was recognized to increase the carrying amount of the Funds investments as per below:

Reclassification adjustments

Foreign withholding taxes were previously disclosed separately as part of investment income; under IFRS they are still presented separately however they are now reclassified as an expense. Similarly Transaction costs which were previously disclosed separately as part of the gain (loss) on investments are now reclassified as a separate expense.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Future accounting changes

The final version of IFRS 9, Financial instruments, was issued by the IASB in July 2014 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces a model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The new single, principle based approach for determining the classification of financial assets is driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments, which will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. It also includes changes in respect of own credit risk in measuring liabilities elected to be measured at fair value, so that gains caused by the deterioration of an entity’s own credit risk on such liabilities are no longer recognised in profit or loss. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, however is available for early adoption. In addition, the own credit changes can be early applied in isolation without otherwise changing the accounting for financial instruments. The Funds are in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 9 and have not yet determined when they will adopt the new standard.
