LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Unitholder,

On behalf of the board, I am pleased to present the 2003 Annual Report of the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust.

In the past year, growth in the size of the Trust's portfolio and earnings was significant. Also, a number of Trust properties that have been held for several years showed a considerable increase in market value.

The Trust's portfolio of properties grew from 37 last year to 48 at 30 June 2003 in a year marked by the acquisition of development sites, the construction of Bunnings Warehouse stores, and the acquisition of a number of established Bunnings Warehouse properties. The acquisitions, which are all considered likely to result in income growth and capital appreciation over time, have enhanced the geographic diversification of

the Trust's portfolio and increased the average lease expiry of the portfolio.

During the year a further six properties in the Trust's portfolio were revalued by independent valuers, which resulted in an average increase in market valuation of those properties of 11.3 per cent. The revaluations contributed to an increase in the net tangible asset backing per unit, which at 30 June 2003. was \$1.14 per unit (last year \$1.10 per unit).

In my introduction to last year's report, I referred to the likelihood that Wesfarmers Limited would offer, for purchase by the Trust, some properties that it owned through the purchase in 2001 of Howard Smith Limited, owner of the BBC hardware chain. I am pleased to advise that during the year, four of those properties were offered to, and subsequently purchased by, the Trust for \$53.2 million.

The acquisition of those properties, three of which are located in the metropolitan areas of New South Wales and one in regional Queensland, was overwhelmingly supported at a meeting of unitholders in December 2002. It is likely that more of the properties formerly owned by Howard Smith Limited may be offered by Wesfarmers Limited for purchase by the Trust.

Also pleasing was the acquisition by the Trust of an established Bunnings Warehouse property at Fyshwick, in the Australian Capital Territory. This was the first purchase by the Trust of an established Bunnings Warehouse property from a party not related to Wesfarmers Limited. The Trust is actively seeking further such acquisitions.

The origoing rollout of the Bunnings hardware business is expected to provide the Trust with livestment opportunities, as it is likely

ET LIGHT

The Bunnings Warehouse rollout is expected to continue at a rate of 8 to 12 stores per annum

that 8 to 12 Bunnings Warehouse stores per annum will be opened in the foreseeable future. The rollout is likely to include the opening of stores in New Zealand, where two Bunnings Warehouse stores are currently under construction. The Trust will consider the purchase of properties in New Zealand, and any proposals received will be assessed on the Trust's investment criteria. Unitholders will be kept informed of developments as they unfold.

Market rent reviews are scheduled to be completed on 20 Trust properties in 2003/04. Eleven of the properties scheduled for review are located in Victoria, where there have been significant upward property revaluations over the last two years.

Further details of the Trust's performance and comments on prospects are described in more detail in the Manager's Report

which follows, and I encourage you to read that report.

The board records its appreciation of the contribution made by management throughout the year.

Thank you for your continued support of the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust. I look forward to reporting favourably again to you next year.

Yours sincerely

W H CAIRNS CHAIRMAN Bunnings Property Management Limited

MANAGER'S REPORT

Revenue of \$35.9 million was up 24 per cent from

The performance of the Trust during the year ended 30 June 2003 exceeded expectations noted in a forecast released in conjunction with the capital raising in November 2002. and there are indications of continued growth in 2003/04.

Financial results

The Trust reported an operating profit of \$26.3 million for the year, which represents an increase of 25 per cent on the profit of \$21.1 million earned last year.

This profit was earned on revenue of \$35.9 million, up by 24 per cent from \$29.0 million. last year due to additional income received from new properties, together with programmed rental escalations. Total assets of the Trust at year end were \$471.6 million, up by \$122.8 million on last year.

Final distribution

A final distribution of 5.35 cents per unit has been declared. The final distribution will be made on 5 September 2003 to unitholders on the Trust's register as at 5pm on 30 June 2003. This lifts the total distribution for the 2002/03 year to 10.50 cents per unit, which exceeds both the full year forecast of 10.26 cents per unit released in conjunction with the capital raising in November 2002, and last year's distribution of 9.77 cents per unit.

The growth in the distribution per unit over the previous financial year is 7.5 per cent, and the tax advantaged component for the 2002/03 distribution is 30.15 per cent.

Market performance

During the financial year, units in the Trust traded within a range of \$1.27 to \$1.70. Based on the closing price as at 30 June 2003 of \$1.51, the Trust had a market capitalisation of \$401.7 million.

In the 2002/03 financial year, the Trust provided a total return of 26.7 per cent, which exceeded the ASX 200 Property Trust Accumulation Index by 14.5 per cent. The Trust, which has provided an average total return of 25.0 per cent per annum over the last three years, continues to perform favourably in comparison to other listed property trusts.

Revaluations

Six properties in the Trust's portfolio were revalued during the year. These properties (three in Western Australia, two in Queensland and one in South Australia) were acquired by the Trust prior to July 2000.

The valuations of these properties by independent valuers resulted in an average increase in market valuation since acquisition of 11.3 per cent. Allowing for acquisition costs, the market valuation of the six properties exceeded book value by 7.4 per cent. A summary of the revaluations is tabled on page 11.

As a result of the revaluations, the book values of the relevant properties rose by \$3.5 million to \$50.5 million, which contributed to an increase in the underlying net tangible asset backing of the Trust's units from \$1.10 per unit at 30 June 2002 to \$1.14 per unit at 30 June 2003.

Four properties are scheduled to be revalued in 2003/04, and rental reviews to market on 20 properties are scheduled.

Gearing

The responsible entity has established a preferred range of 20 to 40 per cent for the Trust's gearing ratio (debt to total assets). The quality of the Trust's lease covenants and the lease expiry profile support this

gearing range and allow the effective use of debt funding. At 30 June 2003, the Trust's gearing was 31.7 per cent, which is within the Trust's preferred range and is consistent with the gearing level of the majority of listed property trusts.

Interest rate management

The Trust has a policy of hedging the majority of its borrowings against interest rate movements to ensure stability of distributions.

The responsible entity continues to actively manage the Trust's exposure to interest rates and took additional cover during the year to meet its debt related commitments.

At 30 June 2003, 86 per cent of the Trust's interest bearing debt was hedged at a weighted average rate excluding margins of 5.68 per cent.

Funding

The Trust debt facility with the National Australia Bank was increased from \$125 million to \$175 million during the year.

The responsible entity continues to consider the best options for funding future acquisitions.

Capital raising

During the year, the Trust issued 26.1 million units through an underwritten placement at an issue price of \$1.29 per unit.

The placement resulted in the new admission of a number of institutions to the unit register.

The \$33.7 million raised was applied initially to reduce debt and subsequently to partly fund a number of property acquisitions. and developments.

Property acquisitions and developments

During the financial year, the Trust acquired eleven properties and the portfolio at year end comprised 48 properties.

The Trust acquired development sites at Hervey Bay, Rocklea and Hernmant, in Queensland, as well as Bayswater and Vermont South in Victoria, and at Port Macquarie in New South Wales.

A Bunnings Warehouse store was developed by the Trust on the site at Hervey Bay, as well as on a site at Dandenong, Victoria, which was purchased in April 2002.

Five established Bunnings Warehouse

properties were acquired during the year. Four of those properties at Artarmon, Belrose and Wollongong in New South Wales and at Caims in Queensland, were acquired from a subsidiary of Wesfarmers Limited. Acquisition of those properties was supported overwhelmingly at a meeting of unitholders in December 2002. The Trust also acquired an established Bunnings Warehouse property at Fyshwick, in the Australian Capital Territory, from a party not related to Wesfarmers Limited.

The Trust has committed to development of Bunnings Warehouses on the Rocklea and Port Macquarie sites, and those developments are scheduled to be completed by November 2003 and December 2003 respectively. The Trust has also committed to the development of a distribution centre for Bunnings Building

Supplies Pty Ltd on the site at Hernmant. and that development is scheduled to be completed by November 2003.

Acquisitions made during the year have enhanced the geographic diversification of the Trust's portfolio, which at year end had an average lease expiry profile of 11.7 years. All property acquisitions and developments are considered to have potential for rental growth and capital appreciation.

Ernst & Young, the external auditor of the compliance plan, has completed its annual audit for the year ended 30 June 2003.

No breaches of the plan were identified as a result of this audit.

In addition to the compliance plan, the responsible entity has in place a number of risk management controls which include the following:

  • · guidelines and limits for the approval of capital and operating expenditure;
  • policies and procedures for the management of financial risk, including exposure to financial instruments and movement in interests rates; and
  • an insurance and risk management programme.

As the majority of members of the board are external directors for the purposes of the Corporations Act, the board is not required to form a separate compliance committee in addition to the board of the responsible entity.

Selection and appointment of directors

The board is conscious of the need to ensure that the board consists of and maintains an appropriate balance of skills, expertise, qualifications and experience.

Directors are required continually to evaluate the number of boards on which they serve to ensure that each can be given the time and attention required to properly fulfil duties and responsibilities.

Given the small size of the board and the nature of the Trust's activities (namely, limited to the development and investment in warehouse retailing properties), the board does not consider it is currently necessary to establish a nomination committee to assist it in the procedures for selection and appointment of new directors.

Roles of the board and management

The respective roles and responsibilities of the board and management are set out in the compliance plan.

The role of the board of the responsible entity is to monitor whether the Trust is managed in a manner which protects and enhances the interests of its unitholders and takes into account the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, lenders and the wider community.

The board has overall responsibility for corporate governance, including setting strategic direction for the Trust, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. This includes:

  • · adopting annual operating budgets for the Trust and the responsible entity and monitoring progress against budgets;
  • . monitoring and overseeing the financial position of the Trust and the responsible entity:
  • · evaluating the performance of the manader:
  • · determining that satisfactory arrangements are in place for auditing the financial affairs of the Trust and the responsible entity;
  • · determining that satisfactory policies and compliance systems are in place and that the responsible entity and its officers act legally, ethically and responsibly on all matters: and
  • · complying with the statutory duties and obligations as imposed by the Law.

The board has delegated responsibility for the day to day management of the Trust to the manager.

The separation of responsibilities between the board and management is clearly understood and respected.

Ethics and conduct

The responsible entity has adopted a basic code of conduct which sets out minimum acceptable standards of behaviour with the intention that dealings are conducted with integrity and honesty.

In addition, the board has adopted the principals outlined in the booklet "Corporate" Practices and Conduct - Third Edition" - a guide produced by a working group

comprising representatives of a number of Australian industry and professional organisations.

Independent professional advice

After prior approval of the Chairman, directors may obtain independent professional advice at the expense of the responsible entity on matters arising in the course of their board duties.

Audit

The compliance plan entrenches processes for reporting and audit.

The board formally constituted an audit committee in June 2003 and adopted a charter for the committee. Currently, the audit committee consists of the entire board and is chaired by Mr McCuaig, an independent director of the responsible entity. Mr Cairns is also an independent director. The composition of the audit committee satisfies transitional arrangements under the ASX Listing Rules. The ASX Listing Rules require that audit committees consist of a majority of independent directors by 1 July 2005.

Trading in units

Directors of the responsible entity may only buy or sell the Trust's units after reference to the secretary and in accordance with relevant statutory and regulatory restrictions.

Summary of significant accounting policies ٦

The financial report is a general purpose financial report made out in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution of the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust (the Trust) and the Corporations Act 2001, which includes applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views). They have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost convention except for property investments which are carried at their fair value.

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are:

(a) Changes in accounting policies

Accounting policies are consistent with the previous year unless otherwise stated.

The Trust has applied the new Accounting Standard AASB 1044 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2003. .................................

The new Standard requires that a provision for distribution can only be recognised in the Statement of Financial Position if the distribution has been declared, determined or publicly recommended prior to the balance date. The Constitution of the Trust provides that its distributable profit is to be distributed to unitholders each half year. As a liability for distribution arises upon the derivation of profits by the Trust, a provision for distribution has been recognised at balance date.

The new Standard has had no effect on the current or previous financial statements;

(b) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Specific revenues are recognised as follows:

Rental and other property income

Rental and other property income is recognised as income when receivable under the terms of the rental agreement.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised as income when control of the right to receive the interest payment is attained;

(c) Expenditure

Expenditure, including the responsible entity's fees, are brought to account on an accrual basis;

(d) Property outgoings

Under all leases for the properties in the Trust's portfolio, all property outgoings (including rates and taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and land tax) are paid by Bunnings Building Supplies Pty Ltd except for land tax in relation to properties located in Queensland where legislation prohibits recovery of land tax from tenants;

$(e)$ Taxation

Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax provided that its taxable income (including any taxable capital gains) is fully distributed to unitholders each year.

Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets (with the exception of receivables) are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) to the extent that the GST is recoverable from the taxation authority. Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition, or as an expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a receivable or payable. إيجاد ووودونا

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows;

For the year ended 30 June 2003

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Contributed equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary units are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the unit proceeds received;

(g) Depreciation

The buildings and any component of them (including plant and equipment) included in property investments are in accordance with AASB 1021: Depreciation, not depreciated for accounting purposes. Taxation allowances for building, plant and equipment depreciation are declared as tax advantaged components of distributions;

(h) Interest bearing liabilities

Bank loans are carried at their principal amount less any unexpired discount for bank bills. These loans are generally borrowed for the short term under long term facilities. The loans are allocated between current and non-current based on the repayment period for the facilities. Interest, where applicable, is charged as an expense at short term commercial rates as it accrues, interest free loans repayable within one year are carried at face value;

Property outgoings ΪÜ.

Under all leases for the properties in the Trust's portfolio, all property outgoings (including rates and taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and land tax) are paid by Bunnings Building Supplies Pty Ltd except for land tax in relation to properties located in Queensland where legislation prohibits recovery of land tax from tenants;

Property investments (j)

Land and buildings are considered to have the function of an investment and are therefore regarded as a composite asset. Accounting Standards do not require investment properties to be depreciated. Accordingly, the buildings and components thereof (including plant and equipment) are not depreciated.

Independent valuations of property investments are obtained at intervals of not more than three years. Such valuations of property investments are reflected in the financial statements of the Trust. Notwithstanding this, the directors of the responsible entity assess the carrying value at each reporting period to ensure carrying values do not materially differ from fair values. Where carrying values differ from the fair value, those assets are adjusted to their fair value. In determining fair value, the expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value using a market risk adjusted discount rate.

A revaluation increment is credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless it reverses a previous revaluation decrement charged as an expense in determining operating profit in respect of that same class of asset, in which case the increment is credited to operating profit.

Expenditure capitalised to properties includes the cost of acquisition, capital and refurbishment additions, and during development includes rates, taxes, financing charges and related professional fees incurred, net of sundry income. Leasing fees incurred in relation to the on-going renewal of major tenancies are recognised as prepaid expenses and amortised over the lease period to which they relate.

Where assets have been revalued, the potential effect of the capital gains tax (CGT) on disposal has not been taken into account in the determination of the revalued carrying amount because the Trust does not expect to be ultimately liable for CGT in respect of assets;

$(k)$ - Rounding

In accordance with ASIC Class Order 98/0100, these reports have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars;

(I) : Comparative figures

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's accounts in order to enhance comparability with those of the current year;

(m) Earnings per unit

Basic earnings per unit (EPU) is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than distributions), divided by the weighted average number of units, adjusted for any bonus element. The diluted EPU is not materially different from the basic EPU;

For the year ended 30 June 2003

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits are stated at nominal value.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. We are allowed to the control of

Bank overdrafts are carried at the principal amount. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues;

$(o)$ Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreements so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum rental revenues of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as revenue on a straight line basis, which is considered to best represent the pattern of service rendered through the provision of the leased asset.

$\overline{2}$ Responsible entity's fee

The responsible entity is entitled to a management fee payable quarterly in arrears of 0.55 per cent per annum of the gross asset value of the Trust. The responsible entity is also entitled to an additional fee calculated at the rate of 0.05 per cent per annum of the gross asset value of the Trust up to \$200 million and 0.035 per cent per annum of the amount by which the gross asset value of the Trust exceeds \$200 million. The additional fee would, as a minimum, be \$40,000 per annum.

The difference between the book value and the valuation of properties is due to stamp duty and other acquisition costs capitalised since the latest valuation. It is assumed that property values will increase over the period to the next valuation to offset this difference.

Although the property at Maribyrnong was acquired by the Trust at above valuation, the total development cost is expected to be in line with the assessed market valuation of the completed development. The Trust has the right to sell the property to Bunnings Building Supplies Pty Ltd and recoup the total outlay costs should, for any reason, a Burnings Warehouse not be developed on the site.

Each of the properties at Rocklea, Hemmant and Port Macquarie were valued on an as-completed basis. Construction is in progress on each site, and all developments are scheduled for completion prior to December 2003.

The property valuation at Hervey Bay does not include the value of approximately 0.4 hectares of surplus land. The Trust will receive \$725,000 from the proceeds of sale of the surplus land.

The Trust has recognised certain financial instruments in the accounts. These financial instruments are disclosed in Notes 6, 9, 10 and 18. Unrecognised financial instruments

: Interest rate risk exposure $(a)$

The Trust is exposed to financial risk from movement in interest rates. To reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates the Trust has employed the use of interest rate swaps whereby the Trust agrees with various Australian banks to exchange at specified intervals, the difference between. fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. Any amounts paid or received relating to interest rate swaps are recognised as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each contract swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligations. At 30 June 2003 the fixed rates varied from 5.085 per cent to 6.615 per cent (2002: 5.46 per cent to 6.635 per cent) and the floating rates were at bank bill rates.

The financial report and directors' of Bunnings Property Management Limited responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust (the Trust), for the year ended 30 June 2003.

Sanshire Werehouse Property Treet 2003 Annual Report

The directors of Bunnings Property Management Limited are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Trust, and that complies with Accounting Standards in Australia, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the unitholders of the Trust. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia, and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Trust's financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and

٠ assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

We performed procedures to assess whether the substance of business transactions was accurately reflected in the financial report. These and our other procedures did not include consideration or judgment of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by the directors of Bunnings Property Management Limited and management of the Trust.

independence

We are independent of the Trust, and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust is in accordance with:

(a) the Corporations Act 2001, including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the financial position of the Trust at 30 June 2003 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii) complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and

(b) other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.
