(b)a copy of any annual report that the fund may have issued to its members or shareholders in respect of the said financial year; and
(c)a copy of any other statement that the fund may have presented to its members or shareholders in respect of any of its activities during such financial year.

 

(3)If the registrar is of the opinion that any document furnished by a registered fund in terms of subsection (1) does not correctly reflect the revenue and expenditure or the financial position (as the case may be) of the fund, he may reject the said document, and in that event—
(a)he shall notify the fund concerned of the reasons for such rejection; and
(b)the fund shall be deemed not to have furnished the said document to the registrar: Provided that in such event the registrar may apply the provisions of section thirty-three, even though the period concerned may have expired before application is made for extension.

 

(4)If a fund has been exempted as contemplated in section 2(5)(a), the registrar may authorise such fund to furnish to him or her, instead of the statements referred to in subsection (1), the information prescribed.
