NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

U Access (Ireland) UCITS plc (the “Company”) was incorporated in Ireland on 5 March 2014 as an investment company with variable capital and segregated liability between sub-funds and with limited liability under registration number 540616. The Company is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland in accordance with the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (“UCITS Regulations”) and is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland in accordance with the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2015, (as amended) (the “Central Bank UCITS Regulations”).

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Act 2014, UCITS Regulations, Central Bank UCITS Regulations and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union. The Company is structured as an umbrella fund consisting of different funds, each comprising one or more classes. The assets of each fund will be invested separately on behalf of each fund by the Portfolio Manager of such fund in accordance with the investment objective and policies of each fund and the applicable Investment Management Agreement. As at 30 June 2018, the Company has established four funds: U Access (IRL) Trend Macro, U Access (IRL) Electron Global Utility Fund, U Access (IRL) Nexthera UCITS and U Access (IRL) Cheyne Arbitrage UCITS (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”). The U Access (IRL) Cheyne Arbitrage UCITS commenced trading on 30 April 2018.

Additional funds may be established by the Directors from time to time with the prior approval of the Central Bank of Ireland. The Company has appointed Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA as the Principal Investment Manager (the “Principal Investment Manager”) to the Company. The Company has appointed BNY Mellon Fund Services (Ireland) Designated Activity Company as administrator and registrar of the Company pursuant to the Administration Agreement with responsibility for the day to day administration of the Company’s affairs. The Company has appointed BNY Mellon Trust Company (Ireland) Limited as depositary of the Company pursuant to the Depositary Agreement with responsibility for acting as custodian and depositary of the assets of each Fund. The description of the investment objectives and policies of each Fund are contained in the Supplements dated 18 April 2018.

2. Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance These condensed unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 31 December 2017 annual report and audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union. The unaudited interim financial statements have been compiled using accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation which are consistent with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017, unless otherwise stated. These condensed unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) and Irish Statute comprising the Companies Act 2014, UCITS Regulations and Central Bank of Ireland UCITS Regulations. (b) Standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective at 30 June 2018 The following new significant standards and amendment to standards are relevant but not yet effective for the Company’s operations: IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application is required but comparative information is not compulsory. The adoption of IFRS 9 is unlikely to have a material effect on the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial assets or financial liabilities. (c) Foreign exchange translation

Items included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”). This is United States Dollars (“US$”) for all Funds, except U Access (IRL) Cheyne Arbitrage UCITS whose functional currency is Euro (“€”). Each Fund has adopted its functional currency as the presentation currency for these financial statements. Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into the functional currency of the Company using the exchange rates prevailing as at 30 June 2018. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the Funds functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the transaction dates. Gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in determining the result for the period. As at 30 June 2018, the exchange rate of €/US$ 1.1678 was used to translate the Statement of Financial Position of U Access (IRL) Cheyne Arbitrage UCITS.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Foreign exchange translation (continued) As at 30 June 2018, the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Shares of U Access (IRL) Cheyne Arbitrage UCITS has been translated using an average rate of exchange of €/US$ 1.21013 in arriving at the US Dollar value for the Company. This results in a currency translation loss in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Shares and Statement of Cash Flows when compared to the €/US$ rate used at the financial period end. The adjustment recorded in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Shares is a loss of US$3,003,187. The adjustment recorded in the Statement of Cash Flows for the current period is a loss of US$3,003,187. (d) Repurchase agreements

Under a repurchase agreement, the Company sells a security to a buyer, usually a broker for cash. The Company does not record a sale of the security and it agrees later to repay cash plus interest in exchange for the return (repurchase) of the same security. This transaction is similar, in effect, to borrowing by the Company which is collateralised by the securities. The Company carries repurchase agreements at amortised cost, which combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value and is included in the Statement of Financial Position as “Securities sold under agreement to repurchase”.

3. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued) A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The Company discloses the values of its investments in accordance with IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”). This requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: - Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. - Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as

prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). - Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
