CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS' REPORT
The directors present their report together with the financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 for both:
-
the Cromwell Property Group (“the Group”) consisting of Cromwell Corporation Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities and Cromwell Diversified Property Trust (“the CDPT”) and its controlled entities; and
-
CDPT and its controlled entities (“the Trust”).
The shares of the Company and units of CDPT are combined and issued as stapled securities in the Group. The shares of the Company and units of CDPT cannot be traded separately and can only be traded as stapled securities.
1. Directors
The directors of Cromwell Corporation Limited and Cromwell Property Securities Limited as responsible entity of CDPT (“Responsible Entity”) during the half-year and up to the date of this report are:
Mr Geoffrey Levy, AO (Non-Executive Chairman) Ms Michelle McKellar (Non-Executive Director) Mr David Usasz (Non-Executive Director) Mr Robert Pullar (Non-Executive Director) Mr Richard Foster (Non-Executive Director) Mr Marc Wainer (Non-Executive Director) Mr Michael Watters (Non-Executive Director) Mr Michael Flax (Alternate Director to Marc Wainer; resigned 1 August 2011) Mr Geoffrey Cannings (Alternate Director to Michael Watters; appointed 1 August 2011) Mr Paul Weightman (Chief Executive Officer) Mr Daryl Wilson (Finance Director)
2. Review of operations and results
(a) Financial Performance
The Group delivered a loss after tax of $6,781,000 for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 compared with a profit of $28,916,000 for the previous corresponding six month period.
The Trust delivered a loss of $6,105,000 for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 compared with a profit of $31,044,000 for the previous corresponding six month period.
Key items that impacted the financial results of the Group for the half-year included:
-
Rental income and recoverable outgoings of $81,187,000 increased by $13,773,000 or 20% on the previous corresponding period. The increase is primarily as a result of rental income generated from occupancy of the Exhibition Street Property following refurbishment and Qantas rental income derived for the full six month period (2010: 4 months);
-
Finance costs of $29,332,000, increased by $5,893,000 or 25% on the previous corresponding period mainly due to higher variable interest rates and the Group obtaining $122,190,000 of additional borrowings during the half-year for properties acquired compared with the previous corresponding period;
-
Decrease in the fair value of the Group’s investment properties by $14,225,000 of which $10,373,000 reflected the expensing of stamp duty and other transaction costs related to the acquisition of the HQ North investment property;
-
A decrease in fair value of the interest rate derivatives held by the Group of $27,509,000 primarily due to the effect of the interest rate futures market reflecting an expectation of lower interest rates since June 2011;
-
Funds management fees of $2,232,000 a decrease of $634,000 or 22% on the previous corresponding period mainly due to timing of leasing and project fee charges in the current half-year; and
-
A total of 148,324,000 stapled securities were issued during the half-year, at an average issue price of $0.68, to partly fund the acquisition of HQ North and provide new seed capital for a new managed fund launched in December 2011.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS' REPORT
2. Review of operations and results (continued)
(b) Profit from Operations and Distributions
The profit/(loss) for the half-year includes a number of items which, in the opinion of the Directors, need to be adjusted for in order to allow securityholders to gain a better understanding of the Group and Trust’s underlying profit from operations. Profit from operations excludes certain items which are non-cash in nature, occur infrequently and/or relate to realised or unrealised changes in the values of assets and liabilities. Profit from operations is a key metric taken into account in determining distributions for the Group and Trust. Profit from operations is a measure which is not calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and has not been audited or reviewed by the Group and Trust’s auditor.
A reconciliation of profit from operations, as assessed by the Directors, to the reported profit/(loss) for the half-year is as follows:
| Group | Trust | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Half-Year | Half-Year | Half-Year | Half-Year | ||

(2) Tax expense attributable to a change in the value of deferred tax assets as a result of tax losses available to the Group.
Profit from operations for the Group of $36,978,000 and for the Trust of $37,261,000 have both increased compared with the previous corresponding period. This was due to the increase in rental income partly offset by the increase in finance costs.

(c) Earnings and Distributions per Security
| Earnings and Distributions per Security | Earnings and Distributions per Security |
|---|---|
| Group Trust Half-Year Half-Year Half-Year Half-Year 31 Dec 2011 31 Dec 2010 31 Dec 2011 31 Dec 2010 Cents Cents Cents Cents |
|
| Profit/(loss) per security (0.7) Profit from operations per security 3.8 Distributionsper security 3.5 |
3.2 (0.6) 3.5 3.7 3.8 3.6 3.5 3.5 3.5 |
Profit from operations on a per security basis is considered by the Directors to be the key measure of underlying financial performance as it excludes certain volatile and non-cash items but includes the impact of changes in the number of securities on issue.
Profit from operations attributable to stapled securityholders of $36,978,000 (2010: $32,867,000) equated to 3.8 cents (December 2010: 3.7 cents) per weighted average stapled security. This represents an increase of approximately 3% which is considered an acceptable result given the somewhat difficult market environment over the period.
Distributions per stapled security for the half-year were 3.5 cents (December 2010: 3.5 cents).
Distributions for the current half-year comprised a September quarterly distribution of 1.75 cents paid on 16 November 2011 (2010: 1.75 cents paid on 17 November 2010), and a December quarterly distribution of 1.75 cents paid on 15 February 2012 (2010: 1.75 cents paid on 16 February 2011).
(d) Financial Position
The Group’s and Trust’s net asset position and key financial metrics at 31 December 2011 and 30 June 2011 are summarised below:
| Group | Group | Trust | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 Dec | 30 Jun | 31 Dec | 30 Jun | ||
| 2011 | 2011 | 2011 | 2011 | ||
| $’000 | $’000 | $’000 | $’000 | ||
| Total Assets | 1,757,990 | 1,539,428 | 1,743,518 | 1,531,741 | |
| Net Assets | 761,697 | 705,160 | 750,168 | 699,643 | |
| Net Tangible Assets (NTA) | 760,424 | 703,636 | 750,168 | 699,643 | |
| Net Debt (1) |
874,591 | 737,037 | 882,208 | 742,532 | |
| Gearing_(2)_ | 51% | 49% | 51% | 50% | |
| Stapled Securities Issued (‘000) | 1,113,061 | 964,737 | 1,113,336 | 965,012 | |
| NTA per security | $0.68 | $0.73 | $0.67 | $0.73 | |
| NTAper security (excludinginterest rate swaps) | $0.71 | $0.73 | $0.70 | $0.73 |
(1) Borrowings less cash and cash equivalents
(2) Net debt/Total assets less cash and cash equivalents
A total of 13 property assets were externally revalued at December 2011, representing approximately 49% of the property portfolio by value (or 55% excluding the assets acquired during the half-year). The balance of the portfolio was the subject of internal valuations (determined by the directors to be fair value) having regard to external valuations and comparable sales evidence. The weighted average capitalisation rate (WACR) is 8.16% across the portfolio, compared with 8.18% at June 2011.
Net debt has increased due to the additional borrowings of $122,190,000 primarily relating to the acquisition of the HQ North investment property. Gearing during the half-year increased to 51% from 49% at June 2011 and remains within the preferred range of 35-55%.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP DIRECTORS' REPORT
2. Review of operations and results (continued)
NTA per security has decreased by $0.05 during the half-year, principally due to a decrease in the market valuation of interest rate swaps and the write off of transaction costs incurred in relation to the acquisition of the HQ North investment property.
NTA per security excluding the impact of interest rate hedges, which will have zero value at the end of the term of each hedge, was $0.71 compared with $0.72 at June 2011. This reflects the write-off of transaction costs in relation to the HQ North property, with no material change in the net value of other assets and liabilities. The NTA does not take into account any value for the Group’s funds management business, which is expected to grow substantially over the medium term.
Stapled securities on issue have increased by 148,324,000 during the half-year. This is mostly due to a placement and an entitlement offer resulting in the issue of stapled securities at $0.68 per security in November and December 2011.
3. Rounding of amounts
The Group is of the type referred to in Class Order 98/0100 (as amended) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the Directors’ report and financial report. Amounts in the Directors’ report and financial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order, except where noted.
4. Auditor’s independence declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 accompanies this report.
This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
1. Basis of Preparation of Half-Year Financial Report
Cromwell Property Group (“the Group”) was formed by the stapling of Cromwell Corporation Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities, and Cromwell Diversified Property Trust (“CDPT”) and its controlled entities (“the Trust”). The Financial Reports of the Group and the Trust have been presented jointly in accordance with ASIC Class Order 05/642 relating to combining accounts under stapling and for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange.
This general purpose financial report for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by Cromwell Property Group during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The Group and the Trust are of the type referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100 and in accordance with that Class Order, amounts in the financial reports have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
There are a number of new Accounting Standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board which are applicable for reporting periods beginning on or before 1 July 2011. The Group has adopted all the mandatory new and amended Accounting Standards issued that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period.
There was no material impact on the Interim Financial Reports as a result of the mandatory new and amended Accounting Standards adopted.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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 and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are:
Estimates of fair value of investment properties
The Group and Trust have investment properties with carrying amounts of $1,663,920,000 (June 2011: $1,444,850,000) representing estimated fair value at balance date. In addition, the carrying amount of the Group’s and Trust’s investments in associates of $5,929,000 (June 2011: $5,492,000) also reflects underlying investment properties of an associate carried at fair value. These investment properties represent a very high proportion of the total assets of the Group and the Trust.
Fair value is determined within a range of reasonable estimates utilising both capitalisation of net market income and discounted future cash flow methodologies and comparing the results to market sales evidence.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
1. Basis of Preparation of Half-Year Financial Report (continued)
The best evidence of fair value is considered to be current prices in an active market for similar properties, however in some circumstances, including during periods of economic instability or volatility, sufficient market information may not be available. Where sufficient market information is not available, or to supplement this information, management considers other relevant information including:
-
Current prices for properties of a different nature, condition or location, adjusted to reflect those differences;
-
Recent prices of similar properties in a less active market, with adjustments to reflect changes in economic conditions or other factors;
-
Capitalised income calculations based on an assessment of current net market income based on current leases in place for that property or other similar properties, a capitalisation rate taking into account market evidence for similar properties and adjustment for short term vacancy or lease expiries, incentive costs and capital expenditure requirements; and
-
Discounted cash flow forecasts including estimates of future cash flows based on current leases in place for that property, historical operating expenses, reasonable estimates of current and future rents and operating expenses based on external and internal assessments and using discount rates that appropriately reflect the degree of uncertainty and timing inherent in current and future cash flows.
The fair values adopted for investment properties have been supported by a combination of independent external valuations and detailed internal valuations, which are considered to reflect market conditions at balance date.
Key factors which impact assessments of value at each balance date include capitalisation rates, vacancy rates and weighted average lease terms. Details of these factors at each balance date were as follows:
| % Value of Portfolio by Sector 31 Dec 2011 30 Jun 2011 |
Weighted Average Cap Rate 31 Dec 2011 30 Jun 2011 |
Weighted Average Lease Term 31 Dec 2011 30 Jun 2011 |
Occupancy 31 Dec 2011 30 Jun 2011 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial 92% 90% Industrial 7% 8% Retail/Entertainment 1% 2% |
8.07% 8.09% 9.13% 8.97% 9.25% 8.98% |
6.9yrs 7.1yrs 4.8yrs 4.9yrs 4.1yrs 4.5yrs |
99.8% 99.6% 100.0% 100.0% 98.3% 98.0% |
| Total 100% 100% |
8.16% 8.18% |
6.4yrs 6.8yrs |
99.7% 99.6% |
Estimates of fair value take into account factors and market conditions evident at balance date. Uncertainty and changes in global market conditions in the future may impact fair values in the future.
Estimates of fair value of interest rate derivatives
The fair value of interest rate derivatives has been determined using a pricing model based on discounted cash flow analysis and incorporating assumptions supported by market data at balance date including market expectations of future interest rates and discount rates, and taking into account estimates prepared by external counterparties. Whilst certain derivatives may not be quoted on an active market, management have determined a value for those derivatives using market data adjusted for any specific features of the derivatives. All counterparties to interest rate derivatives are Australian financial institutions.

Loan to Cromwell Ipswich City Heart Trust
On 8 December 2011 the Cromwell Ipswich City Heart Trust ARSN 154 498 923 (“ICH”) an unlisted single property trust, for which Cromwell Funds Management Limited (“CFM”), a subsidiary of the Company, acts as responsible entity, settled the acquisition of land at 117 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, Queensland. A commercial building is currently being constructed on the land for the Queensland Government’s Department of Public Works, who will occupy 91% of the property on completion under a 15 year agreement for lease.
CFM issued a product disclosure document (“PDS”) on 16 December 2011 to raise $49,250,000 from investors for ICH.
The Group has provided a loan facility of $20,000,000 to ICH, which is unsecured, to enable settlement of the land and funding for initial construction, of which $17,286,000 had been drawn at balance date. The loan is repayable by 31 December 2012. Funds raised under the PDS will be used to repay the advance. In the meantime the Group will earn a return equivalent to the ICH distribution rate of 7.75%.
The Group has also entered into a unit subscription agreement with ICH. Under the terms of the loan facility and the subscription agreement any loan principal outstanding at 31 December 2012 will be effectively converted into units in ICH. The terms of the subscription agreement allow for ICH to call on the Group to subscribe for any remaining unissued units in ICH at 31 December 2012.

(1) Comprises original acquisition date and price for Cromwell Diversified Property Trust or the relevant Syndicate which was mostly prior to the merger and stapling transaction in December 2006.
(b) Valuation basis
Independent valuations of properties were carried out by qualified valuers with relevant experience in the types of property being valued. Independent valuations are mostly carried out at least annually but no later than every two years. The value of investment properties is measured on a fair value basis, being the amounts for which the properties could be exchanged between willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases. In assessing the value of the investment properties, the independent valuers have considered both discounted cash flow, and capitalisation methodologies. In addition, the Group and the Trust have utilised similar internal valuation processes for determining fair value where independent valuations are not obtained.

8. Investments in Associates
The Group has investments in two associates, Cromwell Property Fund (“CPF”) and Phoenix Portfolios Pty Ltd (“Phoenix”). The Trust only has an investment in CPF. These entities were formed in Australia and their principal activities are property investment (CPF) and investment management (Phoenix). The reporting dates of the associates are the same as for the Group and Trust. The proportion of voting power held equates to the proportion of ownership interest held.
CPF does not recognise income tax expense or liabilities given its nature.

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
10. Borrowings (continued)
Interest rate Swaps
The Group manages its cash flow interest-rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Group raises long term borrowings at floating rates and swaps a portion of them into fixed rates.
Finance Facilities
At 31 December 2011 the Group had $189,980,000 in unused finance facilities (June 2011: $22,600,000).

CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
11. Contributed Equity (continued)
(a) Equity attributable to stapled securityholders (continued)
The Group has established a dividend/distribution reinvestment plan under which holders of stapled securities may elect to have all of their dividend/distribution entitlement satisfied by the issue of new stapled securities rather than being paid in cash. Stapled securities are issued under the plan at a discount to the market price as determined by the Directors before each dividend/distribution.
(b) Stapled Securities
The ordinary shares of the Company are stapled with the units of the Trust. These entitle the holder to participate in dividends and distributions as declared from time to time and the proceeds on winding up. On a show of hands every holder of stapled securities present at a meeting in person, or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each stapled security is entitled to one vote.
A reconciliation of the stapled number of ordinary shares of the Company and ordinary units of the Trust is as follows:
| Dec 2011 | Dec 2011 | Jun 2011 | Jun 2011 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company | CDPT | Company | CDPT | |
| Number | Number | Number | Number | |

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group and the Trust, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration for both Cromwell Corporation Limited and Cromwell Property Securities Limited as responsible entity for the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of Cromwell Corporation Limited and the directors of Cromwell Property Securities Limited as responsible entity for the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust (collectively referred to as “the directors”) are responsible for the preparation of the halfyear financial reports 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s and Trust’s financial positions as at 31 December 2011 and their performance for the half- year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Cromwell Corporation Limited and Cromwell Diversified Property Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial reports of the Group and the Trust are not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s and Trust’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of their performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
