$2.$ Application of new and revised accounting standards

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards $(a)$

In the current year, the Fund has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting year. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted $(b)$

At the date of this report, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2013, but have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The potential effect of the below Standards and Interpretations on the Fund's financial statements has not yet been determined:

  • AASB 9 'Financial Instruments', AASB 2009-11 and AASB 2010-7 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9'. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
  • AASB 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and AASB 2012-10 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition Guidance and Other Amendments'. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
  • . AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement', AASB 2011-8 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13'. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
  • AASB 2011-4 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements'. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013.
  • AASB 2012-2 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities'. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
  • AASB 2012-3 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities'. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

$\overline{3}$ . Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance $(a)$

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards including Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. The financial statements and notes of the Fund comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the Fund is a for-profit entity.

The financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors of Centuria Property Funds Limited, the Responsible Entity, on 4 September 2013.

$(b)$ Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013.

Use of estimates and judgements

In the application of the Fund's accounting policies, the Responsible Entity is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period; or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The key estimates and judgements in the financial report relate to the valuation of investment property and derivative financial instruments.

Judgements made by the Responsible Entity that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates with significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

$\bar{z}$

Significant accounting policies (continued) $3.$

$(b)$ Basis of preparation (continued)

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

At reporting date, borrowings have been classified as a current liability due to the debt facility maturing on 30 June 2014. As a result, the Fund has a net current asset deficiency of \$63,581,544.

As at the date of this report there have been no breaches of any of the loan covenants relating to the existing debt facility. As the Fund continues to comply with its loan covenants, along with the forecast performance of the properties, the Responsible Entity believes that the facility renewal will be successfully renegotiated on similar terms and conditions as required prior to its expiry in June 2014.

After taking into account all available information, the directors have concluded that there are reasonable grounds to believe the basis of preparation of the financial report on a going concern basis is appropriate.

$(c)$ Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Fund's functional currency.

$(d)$ Basis of consolidation

i. Stapled scheme

Centuria Diversified Property Fund was established for the purpose of facilitating a relationship between CDPF Stapled Fund No. 1 and CDPF Stapled Fund No. 2. The Fund was formed by stapling units in CDPF Stapled Fund No. 1 and CDPF Stapled Fund No. 2. Unitholders in the Fund are entitled to an equal interest in each stapled entity within the Fund.

In accordance with AASB 3, the Fund is required to appoint a parent under the stapling arrangement. CDPF Stapled Fund No. 1 has been appointed parent of the Fund. On the basis that there is no ownership interest between the entities involved in the stapling arrangement, the net assets and profit or loss of CDPF Stapled Fund No. 2 are disclosed separately as a non-controlling interest.

The stapling arrangement will cease upon the earlier of the winding up of any of the stapled entities, or any of the entities terminating the stapling arrangement.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations including the acquisition of controlled entities. The purchase method views a business combination from the perspective of the combining entity that is identified as the acquirer. The acquirer purchases net assets and recognises, at fair value, the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, including those previously recognised by the acquiree. As the stapling arrangement does not involve one of the combining entities obtaining an ownership interest in another combining entity, no goodwill or excess of acquirer's interest in the net fair value of an acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over acquisition cost is recognised in relation to the stapling arrangement.

Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.

$(d)$ Basis of consolidation (continued)

ii. General consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Fund and entities controlled by the Fund. Control is achieved where the Fund has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the consolidated group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets attributable to unitholders of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Fund's unitholders. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of original business combination and the non-controlling share of changes in net assets attributable to unitholders since the date of the combination.

iii. Subsidiaries

In addition to the stapled entities noted above, which are deemed subsidiaries, the consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiaries:

Controlling Interest (%)
Centuria Diversified Property Trust $30$ Jun 2013 $30$ Jun 2012
50 1
50

CDPF Stapled Fund No. 1 holds a 50% interest in Centuria Diversified Property Trust. The remaining 50% interest is held by CDPF Stapled Fund No. 2. As a result, 50% of the net assets and profit or loss of Centuria Diversified Property Trust are disclosed separately as a non-controlling interest.

$(e)$ Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand and cash in banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

$(f)$ Investments

i. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses.

Significant accounting policies (continued) $\overline{3}$ .

$(f)$ Investments (continued)

ii. Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment property is initially recorded at cost which includes acquisition costs. Subsequently, the investment property is measured at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

In accordance with the Fund's constitution, the Responsible Entity has the option of performing property valuations internally.

The fair value of the investment properties were determined by the directors of the Responsible Entity or by an external, independent valuation company having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. Fair value is based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

The valuations were prepared by considering the following valuation methodologies:

  • Capitalisation Approach: the annual net rental income is capitalised at an appropriate market yield to arrive at the property's market value. Appropriate capital adjustments are then made where necessary to reflect the specific cash flow profile and the general characteristics of the property.
  • · Discounted Cash Flow Approach: this approach incorporates the estimation of future annual cash flows over a 10 year period by reference to expected rental growth rates, ongoing capital expenditure, terminal sale value and acquisition and disposal costs. The present value of future cash flows is then determined by the application of an appropriate discount rate to derive a net present value for the property.
  • · Direct Comparison Approach: this approach identifies comparable sales on a dollar per square metre of lettable area basis and compares the equivalent rates to the property being valued to determine the property's market value.

The valuations reflect, when appropriate; the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting of vacant accommodation and the market's general perception of their credit-worthiness; the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the lessor and lessee; and the remaining economic life of the property. It has been assumed that whenever rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases, all notices and, where appropriate, counter notices have been served validly and within the appropriate time.

$(a)$ Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Fund's assets, other than those recorded at fair value, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised directly in profit or loss.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

$(h)$ Financial instruments

i. Derivative financial instruments

The Fund holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate exposures.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the entity would receive or pay to terminate the swap at reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.

ii. Cash and fair value hedges

The Fund has not applied hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments.

$(i)$ Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Fund becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

$(i)$ Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of any attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method with any difference between the initial and recognised amount and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of borrowing and are derecognised when the contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

$(k)$ Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Fund has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

$(1)$ Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. In accordance with AASB 132, unitholders funds are classified as 'equity instruments' and are therefore classified as equity and disclosed as such in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Significant accounting policies (continued) $3.$

$(m)$ Applications and redemptions

Applications received for units in the Fund are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of units in the Fund. Redemptions from the Fund are recorded gross of any exit fees payable after cancellation of units redeemed. The application and redemption prices are determined as the net asset value of the Fund adjusted for the estimated transaction costs divided by number of units on issue on the date of the application or redemption.

$(n)$ Revenue

i. Rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income not received at reporting date is reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position as a receivable. If rents are paid in advance these amounts are recorded as payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Contingent rents based on the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time are only recognised when due.

ii. Recoverable outgoings

Recovery of outgoings are recognised on an accrual basis.

iii. Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest rate of the instrument calculated at the acquisition or origination date.

$(o)$ Expenses

i. Finance costs

Finance costs include interest expense and amortised borrowing costs. Interest expense is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues. Finance costs are recognised using the effective interest rate applicable to the financial liability.

ii. Other expenses

All other expenses, including management fees, are recognised in profit or loss on an accruals basis. Other operating expenses include legal, accounting and audit fees.

Significant accounting policies (continued) 3.

$(p)$ Distribution and taxation

Under current legislation the Fund is not subject to income tax when its taxable income (including assessable realised capital gains) is distributed in full to the unitholders. The Fund ordinarily fully distributes its distributable income, calculated in accordance with the Fund constitution and applicable taxation legislation, to the unitholders who are presently entitled to the income under the constitution.

Under current legislation, and in accordance with the Fund's constitution, the Fund is subject to income tax at a rate 46.50% on the balance of taxable income not distributed to the unitholders. In the current year, the Fund has fully distributed its taxable income.

Investments and financial instruments held at fair value may include unrealised capital gains. Should such a gain be realised that portion of the gain that is subject to capital gains tax will be distributed so that the Fund is not subject to capital gains tax.

Realised capital losses are not distributed to unitholders but are retained in the Fund to be offset against any future realised capital gains. If realised capital gains exceed realised capital losses the excess is distributed to the unitholders.

Distributions paid and payable are recognised as distributions within equity. A liability is recognised where distributions have not been paid. Distributions paid are included in cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

$(q)$ Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as an input tax credit (ITC).

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included in receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the consolidated 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 ATO is classified as operating cash flows.

16. Financial instruments

A. Capital risk management

The capital structure of the Fund consists of cash and cash equivalents and the proceeds from the issue of the units of the Fund.

The risk associated with meeting redemption requests is minimal as the Responsible Entity has discretion in approving redemptions.

The Fund has no restrictions or specific capital requirements on the application and redemption of units, other than the approval of the Responsible Entity.

The Fund's overall investment strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.

B. Categories of financial instruments

The Fund has investment in the following categories of financial assets and liabilities:

71,290.351 71,057,719

These financial assets and liabilities are recognised in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3 to the financial statements.

C. Financial risk management objectives

The Fund is exposed to a variety of financial risks as a result of its activities. These risks include market risk (only interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Fund's risk management and investment policies seek to minimise the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Fund's financial performance.

D. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Fund's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. The Fund enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk and these include interest rate swaps that the Fund has entered into to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.

There has been no change to the Fund's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk from the previous year.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the Fund's exposure to interest rates at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities that have variable interest rates. A 100 (2012: 100) basis point increase or decrease is used when assessing the effect.

At reporting date, if variable interest rates had been 100 (2012: 100) basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the impact to the Fund would have been as follows:

Variable Sensitivity impact
Rate increase Rate decrease

(1,470.412)
1,427,854
(1.470.412)

The Fund's sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the current year mainly due to the change in the fair value impact of the interest rate swap contracts. The methods and assumptions used to prepare the sensitivity analysis have not changed during the year.

16. Financial instruments (continued)

D. Market risk (continued)

Interest rate swap contracts

Under interest rate swap contracts, the Fund agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Fund to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt held.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the curves at reporting date and the credit risk inherent in the contract. The following tables detail the specific instruments held, showing the notional principal amounts and contracted fixed interest rate of each contract:

16. Financial instruments (continued)

E. Credit risk

The Fund has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the financial risk of financial loss from default. The Fund's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored by the Responsible Entity.

At 30 June 2013, the main financial assets exposed to credit risk are trade and other receivables. There were no significant concentrations of credit risk to counterparties at 30 June 2013. Refer to Note 7 for details of trade and other receivables.

The credit risk on trade and other receivables is minimal because of the proven remittance history of the counterparties. Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Responsible Entity in accordance with the Fund's investment policy. Cash investments are made only with approved counterparties.

The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the reporting date.

F. Liquidity risk

The Fund's constitution provides for the application and redemption of units and it is therefore exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting unitholder redemptions during these periods. The risk associated with meeting unitholders redemptions is minimal as the Responsible Entity has discretion in approving redemptions.

The Fund's strategy to managing liquidity risk is in accordance with the Fund's investment strategy and remains unchanged from 2012. The Fund also manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking facilities and through the continuous monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows and matching the profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following tables summarise the maturity profile of the Fund's financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Fund can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows:

G. Fair value

Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortised cost

The directors of the Responsible Entity consider that the carrying amount of the financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value.

Valuation techniques

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • Financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
  • · Other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative financial instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instruments.
  • Derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives. Interest rate swaps are measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • · Level 1: derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: derived from 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: derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Key management personnel

The Fund does not employ personnel in its own right. However it is required to have an incorporated Responsible Entity to manage the activities of the Fund and this is considered the key management personnel. The directors of the Responsible Entity are key management personnel of that entity and their names are:

John McBain Resigned 19 July 2013.
Jason Huljich
Peter Done
Deepak Gupta Resigned 22 May 2013.
Matthew Hardy Appointed 4 July 2013.
Edward Psaltis Appointed 4 July 2013.

The Responsible Entity is entitled to a management fee which is calculated at up to 0.60% of the gross value of assets held plus GST.

The Fund has entered into an arrangement whereby an incentive fee is payable to the Responsible Entity when an investment property is sold, provided certain performance benchmarks are achieved. The fee is calculated as 15.00% of the excess of the gross sale price over the total acquisition cost of the investment property.

No provision has been recognised for incentive fees as there is no indication as at 30 June 2013 that the performance benchmarks would be acheived upon the future sale of investment properties.

At reporting date an amount of \$66,435 (2012: \$470,695) owing to the Responsible Entity was included in trade and other payables. The payables are non-interest bearing with payment terms and conditions consistent with normal commercial practices.

No compensation is paid directly by the Fund to any of the directors or key management personnel of the Responsible Entity.

Independent auditor's report to the unitholders of Centuria Diversified Property Fund (a stapled entity comprising CDPF Stapled Fund No. 1 and CDPF Stapled Fund No. 2)

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Centuria Diversified Property Fund (a stapled entity comprising CDPF Stapled Fund No. 1 and CDPF Stapled Fund No. 2) (the Stapled Entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, notes 1 to 20 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of Centuria Property Funds Limited (the Responsible Entity) are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In note 3(a), the directors of the Responsible Entity also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Stapled Entity's financial position, and of its performance.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor's opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Centuria Diversified Property Fund is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Stapled Entity's financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in note $3(a)$ .

Emphasis of matter - net current asset deficiency

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the Stapled Entity's net current asset deficiency of \$63,581,544 at 30 June 2013. This is due to the classification of bank debt as a current liability due to its expiry on 30 June 2014. As disclosed in Note 3(b), the Directors of the Responsible Entity intend to refinance the bank debt. In the event that the Stapled Entity is unable to refinance, there may be doubt as to the Stapled Entity's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
