CurrencyShares® South African Rand Trust

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



|1. | Organization and Description of the Trust
|-- | -----------------------------------------

The CurrencyShares® South African Rand Trust (the
Trust) was formed under the laws of the State of New York on August 7, 2008. On August 8, 2008, Rydex Specialized Products LLC d/b/a Rydex Investments (the Sponsor) deposited 1,000 South African Rand in
the Trusts primary deposit account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (the Depository). The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is Rydex Advisors II, LLC (also d/b/a Rydex
Investments). The Sponsor is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the performance of The Bank of New York Mellon (the Trustee) and the Trusts principal service providers, including the preparation of financial
statements. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust.

The investment objective of the Trust is for the
Trusts shares (the Shares) to reflect the price of the South African Rand plus accrued interest less the Trusts expenses and liabilities. The Shares are intended to provide investors with a simple, cost-effective means of
gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding the South African Rand. The Trusts assets primarily consist of South African Rand on demand deposit in two deposit accounts maintained by the Depository: a primary deposit account which
may earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. The secondary deposit account is used to account for any interest that may be received and paid out on creations and redemptions of 50,000 Shares (Baskets).
The secondary account is also used to account for interest earned, if any, on the primary deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to holders of Shares (Shareholders) on a monthly basis.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period
financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trusts financial statements
included in the Form 10-K/A as filed on March 10, 2011.



|2. | Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | -------------------------------



|A. | Use of Estimates
|-- | ----------------

The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period and the evaluation of subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.



|B. | Foreign Currency Translation
|-- | ----------------------------

The Trustee
will calculate the Trusts net asset value (NAV) each business day, as described in Note 4. For NAV calculation purposes, South African Rand deposits (cash) are translated at the Closing Spot Rate, which is the U.S. Dollar
(USD)/South African Rand exchange rate as determined by WM/Reuters at 4:00 PM (London time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading.

The functional currency of the Trust is the South African Rand in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. For financial statement reporting purposes, the U.S. Dollar is the reporting
currency. As a result, the financial records of the Trust are translated from South African Rand to USD. The Closing Spot Rate on the last day of the period is used for translation in the statements of financial condition. The average Closing Spot
Rate for the period is used for translation in the statements of income and comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows. Any currency translation adjustment is included in comprehensive income.

|C. | Federal Income Taxes
|-- | --------------------

The Trust is
treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Interest, gains and losses are passed through to the Shareholders.

Shareholders generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro-rata share of the assets held in the Trust.
Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly received their respective pro-rata portion of the Trusts income, if any, and as if they directly incurred their respective pro-rata portion of the Trusts expenses. The acquisition of
Shares by a U.S. Shareholder as part of a creation of a Basket will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder.

The Sponsors fee accrues
daily and is payable monthly. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, an accrual-basis U.S. Shareholder generally will be required to take into account as an expense its allocable portion of the USD-equivalent of the amount of the Sponsors fee
that is accrued on each day, with such USD-equivalent being determined by the currency exchange rate that is in effect on the respective day. To the extent that the currency exchange rate on the date of payment of the accrued amount of the
Sponsors fee differs from the currency exchange rate in effect on the day of accrual, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize a currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Trust does not expect to generate taxable income except for interest income (if any) and gain (if any) upon the sale of South African Rand. A non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax with respect to gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the sale of South African Rand by the Trust, unless: (1) the non-U.S. Shareholder is an individual and is present in the United States for
183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business
in the United States.

A non-U.S. Shareholders portion of any interest income earned by the Trust generally will not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax unless the Shares owned by such non-U.S. Shareholder are effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.



|D. | Revenue Recognition
|-- | -------------------

Interest on the
primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily as earned and is received on a monthly basis.



|E. | Dividends
|-- | ---------

To the extent that the
interest earned by the Trust, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trust will distribute, as a dividend, the excess interest earned in South African Rand effective on the first
business day of the subsequent month. The Trustee will direct that the excess South African Rand be converted into USD at a prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis
(in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).



|3. | South African Rand Deposits
|-- | ---------------------------

South
African Rand principal deposits are held in a South African Rand-denominated, interest-bearing demand account. For the three months ended January 31, 2011, there were no South African Rand principal deposits and no South African Rand principal
redemptions resulting in an ending South African Rand balance of 1,000. This equates to 139 USD. For the year ended October 31, 2010, there were no South African Rand principal deposits and no South African Rand principal redemptions resulting
in an ending South African Rand balance of 1,000. This equates to 144 USD.



|4. | Redeemable Capital Shares
|-- | -------------------------

Shares are
classified as redeemable for financial statement purposes, since they are subject to redemption. Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in Baskets in exchange for South African Rand. Individual investors cannot



7

##### Table of Contents

purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. Only Authorized Participants (as defined below) may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a
participant of the Depository Trust Company (DTC) that is a registered broker-dealer or other institution eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of DTC and which has entered into a contractual
arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption process. Authorized Participants may redeem their Shares at any time in Baskets.

Due to expected continuing creations and redemptions of Baskets and the three-day period for settlement of each creation or redemption, the Trust reflects Shares created as a receivable. Shares redeemed
are reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding Shares are reflected at a redemption value, which is the NAV per Share at the period end date. Adjustments to redeemable capital shares at redemption value are recorded against retained
earnings, or, in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against the cumulative translation adjustment.

Activity in redeemable capital
Shares is as follows:

|                                                               |  |                                                |   |  |                            |   |     |        |  |  |                   |  |  |   |     | 

The Trustee will calculate the Trusts NAV each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee will subtract the
Sponsors accrued fee through the previous day from the South African Rand held by the Trust (including all unpaid interest accrued through the preceding day) and calculate the value of the South African Rand in USD based upon the Closing Spot
Rate. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate will be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation
with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation. If the Trustee and the Sponsor determine that the most recent Closing Spot Rate is not an appropriate basis for valuation of the Trusts South
African Rand, they will determine an alternative basis for the valuation. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares. Shares deliverable under a purchase order are
considered outstanding for purposes of determining NAV per Share; Shares deliverable under a redemption order are not considered outstanding for this purpose.



|5. | Sponsors Fee
|-- | -------------

The Sponsors
fee will accrue daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the South African Rand in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately preceding day) and will be paid monthly.

The Sponsor assumes and pays the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustees monthly fee, NYSE Arca listing
fees, SEC registration fees, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees.

In certain exceptional cases the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsors fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by
the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in the preceding paragraph), taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by
the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of



8

##### Table of Contents

Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.



|6. | Related Parties
|-- | ---------------

The Sponsor is a related
party of the Trust. The Sponsor oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the
Trusts service providers.



|7. | Concentration Risk
|-- | ------------------

All of the
Trusts assets are South African Rand, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of the South African Rand. Accordingly, a decline in the South African Rand to USD exchange rate will have an adverse effect on
the value of the Shares. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of the South African Rand include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates,
investment and trading activities of institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Substantial sales of South African Rand by the official sector (central banks, other governmental agencies and related
institutions that buy, sell and hold South African Rand as part of their reserve assets) could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

All of the Trusts South African Rand are held by the Depository. Accordingly, a risk associated with the concentration of the Trusts
assets in accounts held by a single financial institution exists and increases the potential for loss by the Trust and the Trusts beneficiaries in the event that the Depository becomes insolvent.



|8. | Commitments and Contingencies
|-- | -----------------------------

Under the
Trusts organizational documents, the Sponsor is indemnified against any liability or expense it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trusts maximum exposure under this arrangement is unknown, as
this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

believe, seek, outlook and estimate and other similar words. Forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on
us. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Various factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. These factors include fluctuations in the price
of the South African Rand, as the value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the South African Rand held by the Trust and price fluctuations could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares. Readers are urged to review the
Risk Factors section in this report for a description of other risks and uncertainties that may affect an investment in the Shares.

Neither Rydex Specialized Products LLC d/b/a Rydex Investments (the Sponsor) nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or

Trust Overview

The CurrencyShares® South African Rand Trust (the
Trust) is a grantor trust that was formed on August 7, 2008. The Trust issues shares (the Shares) in blocks of 50,000 (a Basket) in exchange for deposits of South African Rand and distributes South African
Rand in connection with the redemption of Baskets.

The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust does not have any officers, directors
or employees. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the South African Rand plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Trust does not engage in any activities
designed to obtain profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of the South African Rand.

Definition of Net Asset
Value

The Trustee will calculate, and the Sponsor will publish, the Trusts Net Asset Value (NAV) each business day. To
calculate the NAV, the Trustee will add to the amount of South African Rand in the Trust at the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, if any, South African Rand receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust
assets, and subtract the accrued but unpaid Sponsors fee, South African Rand payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. The NAV will be expressed in U.S. Dollars (USD) based on the
Closing Spot Rate, which is the USD/ South African Rand exchange rate as determined by WM/Reuters as of 4:00 PM (London time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot
Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate will be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is
inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation.

The Trustee will also determine the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust
divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAV of the Trust and NAV per Share will be published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading and will be posted on the Trusts website,
www.currencyshares.com.

Movements in the Price of South African Rand

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in USD of the South African Rand plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Shares are
intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding South African Rand. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the South African
Rand held by the Trust. The following chart illustrates recent movements in the price of South African Rand in USD as reported by the Bloomberg Professional service.

Liquidity

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trusts
liquidity needs. The Trust did not have any Authorized Participant creation activity during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011. The balance reflected in the financial statements is seed capital from the Sponsor.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsors management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report.

In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

The functional currency of the Trust is the South African Rand in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation.

Results of Operations

The Sponsor deposited 1,000 South African Rand with the Depository
in exchange for one Share on August 8, 2008. No additional shares were created or redeemed during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2008. As of October 31, 2008, the number of South African Rand owned by the Trust was 1,000
resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $102.

No additional shares were created or redeemed during the year ended October 31,
2009, the year ended October 31, 2010 or the three months ended January 31, 2011. As of October 31, 2009, the number of South African Rand owned by the Trust was 1,000 resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $128. As of
October 31, 2010, the number of South African Rand owned by the Trust was 1,000 resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $144. As of January 31, 2011, the number of South African Rand owned by the Trust was 1,000 resulting in a
redeemable capital share value of $139.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Except as described above with respect to the USD/South African Rand exchange rate and the nominal annual interest rate to be paid by the Depository on South African Rand held by the Trust, the Trust is
not subject to market risk. The Trust does not hold securities and does not invest in derivative instruments.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

The Trust
maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Trust is recorded, processed and disclosed on a timely
basis. The Trusts disclosure controls and procedures are designed by or under the supervision of the Sponsors chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who exercise oversight over the Trust as the Trust has no officers. The
chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief
financial officer of the Sponsor have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in the Trusts internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Trusts last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Trusts internal control over financial reporting.
