  1. The "actual ~ grouped" figures reflect the aggregation of the four Trusts for the period to 30 June 2005. This accounting treatment is consistent with the disclosures outlined in the EM and represents the summation of the results for the four Trusts comprising the stapled entity. It should be noted that investors in DRT have been entitled to the relams of the underlying Trusts from 1 July 2004.

For statulory reporting purposes, DB RREEF Diversified Trust ("DDF") was deemed to be the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the other three entities, being DB RREEF Office Trust ("DOT"), DB RREEF Industrial Trust ("DIT") and DB RREEF Operations Yrust ("DRO"), are consolidated as subsidiary entities for accounting purposes. The Rnancial statements reflect 12 months of DDF results and nine months of DOT, DIT and DRO results. The earnings per stapled security per the 30 June 2006 accounts are 10.1 cents (based on the weighted number of units on issue for DDF from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005). This is calculated based on the reported net profit after capital items.

  1. Capital items comprise net profit from asset sales and costs associated with the restructure.

  2. Net profit attributable to security holders reflects the writing-off of transaction costs and includes capital profits.

letter from the chair

(for form)
and for form THE MODEL OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF THE TIME OF T

I am pleased to present the first Annual Report for DB RREEF Trust for the year ending 30 June 2005.

This year has been a year of significant change in the operation of your Trust. On 27 September 2004, unitholders met to consider, and subsequently approved, a proposal:

  • @ to staple DB RREEF Diversified Trust, DB RREEF Industrial Trust, DB RREEF Office Trust and DB RREEF Operations Trust units to create DB RREEF Trust:
  • a to acquire a portfolio of A\$1.0 billion of US industrial property; and
  • * to partially internatise the management of your Trust.

Since that day a significant amount of work has been undertaken to implement the proposal, restructure the Trust's debt and implement the management structure necessary to drive the business into the future.

While a number of implementation activities will be completed over the next few months, I am very pleased to report that the key building blocks for the future growth of DB RREEF Trust are now in place.

The final distribution for the six months to 30 June 2005 is 5.3 cents per stapled security which brings the total distribution for the year to 10.5 cents per stapled. security. This is in line with our forecast outlined in the Explanatory Memorandum issued as part of the stapling process in August 2004. Total assets of the Trust as at 30 June 2005 were \$7.0 billion, with security holders equity of \$3.5 billion. The resultant net tangible assets per security is \$1.29, which is seven cents above December 2004. The Trust's gearing as at 30 June 2005 was 39 percent. which is below the forecast gearing level outlined in the EM debt forecast.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Victor Hoog Antink, will in his report provide details of the activities and achievements that improved the quality and value of your Trust.

Over the past year we have made significant changes to your Board and the overall corporate governance of your Trust. Your Board now comprises seven members, the majority of whom are independent.

Along with the usual duties of a board, the Board has established a numberof key committees that oversee various aspects of the operations of your Trust. These and other governance aspects are reviewed in the Corporate Governance Statement contained in this Annual Report.

14 Moore Street, Canberra ACT

On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank you for your continued support during this period of significant change. The Board is committed to the continuing growth and development of DB RREEF Trust and is optimistic about the Trust's future prospects. We look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.

Yours sincerely

environment and community

What is sustainability?

Sustainable development is defined by the Property Council of Australia as 'development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It calls for a triple-bottom-line approach to business, balancing environmental, social and economic accountability.'

To the Green Building Council of Australia, sustainability 'is the evaluation of the environmental and social performance of buildings, particularly with respect to their strategies for:

  • Energy efficiency 緵
  • Greenhouse gas emission abatement 缆
  • Water conservation 鑁
  • Waste avoidance, re-use and recycling 55

  • Pollution prevention 娑

  • Enhanced biodiversity Ø
  • ø Productive and healthy environments
  • Ø Transparent corporate reporting
  • Social amenity.' ø

DRFM's sustainability platform.

DRFM's sustainability strategy is based on its ability to identify risks and develop individual management. programs which satisfy the social, environmental and economic requirements of each of its properties throughout every stage of their life cycle - development, operation and refurbishment.

DRFM's commitment to sustainability is reflected in all development and refurbishment activities undertaken. to successfully manage its property portfolio.

environmental

existing properties

DRFM constantly strives to improve the environmental performance of each of its properties. Since 1999, it has led the market in the application of comprehensive environmental audit, assessment and action plans for the properties in its portfolio.

DRFM's environmental management program - modelled on the international standard for Environmental Management. Systems ISO 14001 - was developed and implemented in accordance with NSW Environmental Management System Guidelines. The program ensures the identification, management and monitoring of all environmental issues. associated with the physical property and any activities. conducted at the property. Its objective is to minimise, reduceor eliminate any environmental harm being caused by the property or DRFM's associated management activities.

Each year, as part of its environmental management. program, DRFM commissions an independent audit of the environmental criteria relating to each property, including:

  • waste and stormwater management;
  • 88 dangerous goods;
  • emissions including air quality management and Legionella control;
  • documentation control and environmental records;
  • 娑 emergency preparedness and response;
  • 鐜 storage tanks (above and underground); and
  • 銐 hazardous materials (asbestos, synthetic mineral fibres, lead, PCB's etc.)

Each property's environmental performance is rated against the benchmark score set each year for the entire portfolio. Every rating is accompanied by an action plan which identifies and prioritises any improvements required for the property. This process enables DRFM to progressively enhance the environmental performance of each of its properties.

Key achievements during 2004/2005 for existing properties:

  • a each property within its portfolio was independently audited:
  • each property's environmental performance rating significantly improved on that for the previous year;
  • ® by 30 June, DRFM had successfully completed a hazardous materials audit for each property in the portfolio without identifying any significant issues; and
  • ® DRFM introduced a program designed to facilitate resource efficiency improvements (energy, water and waste-to-landfill) across the portfolio. This programwill identify each property's current resource. consumption pattern, then implement energy efficiency, water conservation and waste-to-landfill improvements to ensure that specific resource efficiency targets are achieved.

developments and refurbished properties.

DRFM pursues best practice, environmentally sustainable development policies in all its activities.

Details of the Directors, as at the date of this Report are set out on pages 42 to 44 of this Report. Details of the Directors who have resigned during the year are set out in the Directors' Report.

2.2 director independence.

Independent Directors are independent of management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. Independent Directors are active in areas which enable them to relate to the strategies of the company and to make a meaningful contribution to the Board's deliberations. The Board of DRFM regularly assesses the independence of its Independent Directors, in light of interests disclosed to it.

Directors identified as independent:

  • are not substantial shareholders of the company, or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with a substantial shareholder of the company;
  • the law that been, within the last three years, employed in an executive capacity by the company, DB or any other group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold. such employment;
  • have not been, within the last three years, a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company, DB or any other group member, or an employee associated with a service provider;
  • have not been a material supplier or customer of the company, DB or any other group member, or an officerof or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;
  • the with the material contractual relationship with the company, DB or any other group member, other than as a Director of the company;
  • the have not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interferewith the Director's ability to act in the best interests of the company;

  • are free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, interfere with the Director's ability to act in the bestinterests of the company; and

  • are free from family ties or cross-directorships that may compromise director independence.

For the purpose of assessing independence, the Board has determined that affiliation with a business which accounts for greater than 2.5 percent of DB RREEF's, or the supplier's revenue would be, as a category, material.

Independent Directors hold office for three years, following their first appointment (or, if appointed by the Boardbetween annual meetings, from the date of the Annual General Meeting immediately succeeding the appointment). It is not generally expected that an Independent Director. would hold office for more than ten years, or be nominated for more than three consecutive terms, whichever is the longer. For a description of the procedure for the selectionand appointment of new Directors to the Board please refer to www.dbrreef.com.

Although the Board is advised by internal Legal Counsel. and the Company Secretary, Independent Directors are encouraged to take independent professional advice, at DRFM's expense, as required. Independent Directors also confer regularly, outside board meetings, without the involvement of management and Executive Directors.

corporate governance statement (continued)

principle 2. structuring the board to add vatue (continued)

2.3 role of the chair

The DRFM Chair is an Independent Director, and is responsible for the leadership of the Board, for the efficient erganisation and conduct of the Board's functions, and for the briefing of Directors in relation to issues arising pertinent. to the Board.

The Board has also clearly defined, and the Chair monitors, the responsibilities of the CEO.

2.4 board nomination and remuneration committee

A Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee has been established by the Board to assist in the fulfilment of its responsibilities, by overseeing all aspects of Director and Executive remuneration, performance evaluation and Board nominations. It comprises two Independent Directors and two DB appointed members, one of whom will be the Chair.

The members of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee are as follows:

Committee member Status

Christopher T Beare Independent Director
Stewart F Fwen Independent Director
Brian F Scullin DB appointed Director

The Committee's nomination and remuneration responsibilities are set out in its Terms of Reference which is available on www.dbrreef.com.

The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee composition of two Independent Directors and two DB appointed members, differs from ASX guidelines that the Committee be comprised of a majority of Independent Directors, one of whom is the Chair. This departure from the guidelines reflects the unique shareholding of DRFM, being 50 percent DRT and 50 percent Deutsche Bank, and enables DB to bring to deliberations its experience as a global financial institution, as well as recognising the materiality of its shareholding. The Board has considered this departure from ASX guidelines and has determined that the departure does not compromise the objectives of the Committee.

Management - Compensation Committee

Reporting to the Executive Committee and the Board. Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Compensation Committee oversees the development and implementation of all human resource management systems, including compensation and recruitment, and advises the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

corporate governance statement (continued)

principle 9, remunerating fairly and responsibly

9.1 remuneration framework

The objective of DRFM's remuneration reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns employee reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for investors, and conforms with market best practice for delivery of reward.

The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee oversees the remuneration of executives to ensure that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • @ competitiveness and reasonableness;
  • performance linkage/alignment; ø
  • transparency; and gg.
  • financial and non-financial resource management. gg.

In consultation with external remuneration consultants, DRFM has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to its reward strategy. Alignment to investors' interests is achieved through increased focus on trust performance being a core component of plan design, as well as the plan rewarding:

  • delivery of a target return on assets; and
  • achievement of key non-financial value drivers. 慾

Alignment of employees' interests is achieved through the plan rewarding capability and performance. For participants, the plan:

  • provides a clear structure for earning reward;

  • delivers competitive reward for contribution to the creation of value; and
  • 88 provides recognition for contribution.

The plan is designed to attract and retain talented and motivated employees, and to encourage enhanced performance.

The remuneration framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, being base pay and short-term performance. incentive. As an employee gains seniority within DRFM, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of "at risk" rewards. DRFM further intends to introduce a long-term performance incentive scheme during the year ending 30 June 2006.

To ensure that base pay is competitive, external remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice regarding market. remuneration for comparable roles. Base pay for employees is reviewed annually. There are no guaranteed base pay. increases for employees.

Should DRFM achieve predetermined performance targets, a short-term incentive pool, approved by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, is available for allocation to employees annually. Cash incentives are payable in September each year. Performance targets are utilised to ensure that variable reward is only available when value has been created for investors, and when performance is consistent with each relevant Trust's forecast. The incentive pool may be leveraged for performance above targets to provide incentive for employee out-performance.

Key performance indicators are linked to short-term. incentives based on both business and personal objectives. Performance indicators require achievement of specific targets in relation to Trust performance, as well as other key non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. Short-term incentive payments may be adjusted up or down in line with under or overachievement against target performance levels, at the discretion of the Board Nomination and Remuneration. Committee.

Termination provisions for the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") are set out in the CEO's contract of employment. In the event of early termination. DRFM may be required to give twelve months notice and may elect to payout all or part of this notice period.

There are no termination provisions extended to any other DRFM Executive.

9.2 non-executive directors' remuneration framework

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of Directors, Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments. are reviewed annually by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee also obtains advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with market. The Chair's fee is determined independently of the fees of Non-Executive Directors, based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chair is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his/her own remuneration. Non-Executive Directors do not receive share options.

Non-Executive Directors who accept positions on boardcommittees receive an additional annual fee for each committee membership. Non-Executive Directors' fees are also recommended for approval by DB RREEF Trust investors.

principle 10, recognising the legitimate interests of stakeholders

10.1 stakeholder interests

DRFM is aware that the creation of value through the better management of natural, human, social and other capital is essential to the development of its reputation, and acknowledges the interests of its stakeholders including investors, employees, tenants, bankers/financiers and the broader community, in the further pursuit of this objective.

To address these objectives DRFM has in place:

A directors' code of conduct, which addresses:

The number of employees of the Stapled Entity during the reporting period was 123 as at 30 June 2005 (2004; nil).

7. total value of trust assets

The total value of the assets of the Trust as at 30 June 2005. was \$6.997 million (2004: \$1.707 million). A schedule detailing the basis of this valuation is outlined in note 1 of the financial statements.

8. review and results of operations

A review of the results and operations, including the expected results of operations of the Trust, is set out in the "Chief Executive Officers' Report" in the DRT Annual Report 2005.

9. likely developments and expected results of operations

In the opinion of the Directors, disclosure of any further information of the future developments or results of the Trust, other than that information already outlined in this Report or the financial statements accompanying this report, would be unreasonably prejudicial to the Trust.

10. significant changes in the state of affairs

On 27 September 2004, unitholders of the Trust, DB RREEF Industrial Trust (formerly Deutsche Industrial Trust) ("DIT") and DB RREEF Office Trust (formerly Deutsche Office Trust) ("DOT") voted to replace their respective

constitutions, replace their respective Responsible Entities. and staple their units together with a newly formed trading trust DB RREEF Operations Trust ("DRO") to create a stapled security known as DB RREEF Trust ("DRT"). (ASX Code: DRT). Details on the proposal were outlined in the Information Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 August 2004. The result of these resolutions became effective on 30 September 2004.

The consolidation of the Trust and DIT. DOT and DRO, the acquisition of the US REIT, and the associated debt arranging and interest rate hedging, are referred to as "the Transaction".

For the purposes of statutory reporting, the stapled entity must be accounted for as a consolidated group. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of DIT, DOT and DRO is the Trust.

DB RREEF Funds Management is a wholly owned subsidiary of DB RREEF Holdings Pty Limited ("DRH"). DRH is 50 percent owned by DRFM as Responsible Entity for DRO and 50 percent owned by First Australian Property Group Holdings. Pty Limited, a subsidiary of the Deutsche Bank Group.

As part of the stapling process, the Trust, DIT and DOT each paid a special distribution by way of a capital return that was applied on behalf of each unitholder to subscribe for new issued units in each of the other Trusts, including DRO. The number of units issued by each Trust changed so that each Trust had the same number of issued units. The number of stapled securities owned by an investor in DRT equals the same number of units in the Trust, DIT, DOT and DRO.

Other than the matters disclosed above, the Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any matter or circumstance. not otherwise dealt with in the Report or the financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or state of the Trust's affairs in future financial years.

11, matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 7 July 2005, amendments were made to the Trust's constitution that enabled the Trust to satisfy the Australian International Financial Reporting Standards criteria for unitholders' funds to be classified as equity. The Directors of the Responsible Entity were of the view that such amendments were not materially adverse to unitholders' rights or interests nor did they change the nature of the Trust.

On 27 July 2005, the Responsible Entity lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court of New South Wales in relation to the interest payable on the settlement sum in respect of the sale of part of 1~55 Rothschild Avenue, Rosebery NSW.

Since the end of the year, other than the matters discussed above, the directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in their report or the financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Stapled Entity, the results of those operations, or state of the Stapled Entity's affairs in future financial periods.

directors' and executive remuneration report

The Directors of DB RREEF Funds Management Limited ("DRFM") as Responsible Entity of DB RREEF Diversified Trust (formerly Deutsche Diversified Trust) ("the Trust" or "DDF") and its consolidated entities ("the group") present their Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2005.

1. general remuneration framework

The objective of DRFM's remuneration reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results defivered. The framework aligns employee reward with achievement of strategic objectives. and the creation of value for investors, and conforms with market best practice for delivery of reward.

The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee oversee. the remuneration of executives to ensure that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward. governance practices:

  • @ competitiveness and reasonableness;
  • q performance linkage/alignment;
  • transparency; and Ŷ.
  • financial and non-financial resource management. 鐜

In consultation with external remuneration consultants DRFM has structured a remuneration framework that is market. competitive and complementary to its reward strategy. Alignment to investors' interests is achieved through. increased focus on group performance being a corecomponent of plan design, as well as the plan rewarding:

  • 鐜 delivery of forecast returns; and
  • achievement of key non-financial value drivers. gg.

Alignment of employees' interests is achieved through the plan rewarding capability and performance. For participants the plan:

  • provides a clear structure for earning reward;

  • 娑 delivers competitive reward for contribution to the creation of value; and
  • 88 provides recognition for contribution.

The plan is designed to attract and retain talented and motivated employees, and to encourage enhanced performance.

The remuneration framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, being base pay and short-term performance. incentive. As an employee gains seniority within the group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of "atrisk" rewards. DRFM is further developing a long-term performance incentive scheme for implementation during the year ending 30 June 2006.

To ensure that base pay is competitive, external remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice regarding market. remuneration for comparable roles. Base pay for employees is reviewed annually. There are no guaranteed base pay. increases for employees.

Should DRFM achieve predetermined performance targets, a short-term incentive pool, approved by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, is available for allocation to employees during the annual review. Cash incentives are payable in September each year. Performance targets are utilised to ensure that variable. reward is only available when value has been created for investors, and when performance is consistent with forecasts. The incentive pool may be leveraged for performance above targets to provide incentive for employee out-performance.

Governor Phillip Tower, Sydney NSW

Key performance indicators are linked to short-term. incentives based on DRFM's, individual business and personal objectives. Performance indicators requireachievement of specific targets in relation to trust performance, as well as other key non-financial measures. linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. Short-term incentive payments may be adjusted up or down. in line with under or over achievement against target performance levels, at the discretion of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Termination provisions for the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") are set out in the CEO's contract of employment. In the event of early termination, DRFM may be required to give twelve. months notice and may elect to payout all or part of this notice period.

There are no termination provisions extended to any other DRFM Executive.

2. non-executive directors' remuneration framework and structure

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of directors. Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee also obtains advicefrom independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in fine with the market. The Chair's fee is determined independently of the fees of Non-Executive Directors, based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chair is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his/her own remuneration. Non-Executive Directors do not receive share options.

Non-Executive Directors who accept positions on Boardcommittees receive an additional annual fee for each committee membership. Non-Executive Directors' fees are also recommended for approval by DB RREEF Trust investors.

notes to the financial statements

DB RREEF DIVERSIFIED TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005

note 1, summary of significant accounting policies

(a) basis of preparation

On 30 September 2004, DB RREEF Diversified Trust and its subsidiaries ("the Stapled Entity") was formed by the stapling together of DDF, D(T, DOT and DRO ("the Trusts"). For the purposes of statufory reporting, the Stapled Entity reflects a consolidated group. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the Trusts is DDF. The basis of this approach is consistent with current practice in relation to the financial reporting obligations of stapled entities that were formed after 1 July 2004. The consolidated results reflect the performance of the parent, DDF, from 1 July 2004 and the additions. of DIT, DOT and DRO from the date of consolidation, being 1 October 2004 to 30 June 2005, investors however are entitled to distributions. and earnings from the underlying trusts from the period commencing 1 July 2004.

DB RREEF Trust stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code DRT and comprise of one unit in each of the Trust, DIT, DOT and DRO. Each entity forming part of DRT continues as a separate legal entity in its own right under the Corporations Act 2001 and is therefore required to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act. 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards.

DB RREEF Funds Management as Responsible Enfity for the each of the Trusts may only unstaple the Trusts if approval is obtained by special resolution of the security holders.

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Trust Constitution, Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia.

It is prepared on the basis of the going concern and historical cost conventions and has not been adjusted to take account of either changes in the general purchasing power of the dollar or changes in the values of specific assets, except to the extent that the Stapled Entity investments have been revalued.

This report is to read in conjunction with any public pronouncements made by the Stapled Entity during the year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous period unless otherwise specified. Comparative informationhas been reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability.

(b) principles of consolidation

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis in recognition of the fact that while the securities issued by the Trusts are stapled into one trading security and cannot be traded separately, the financial statements must be presented on a consolidated basis. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the Trusts is DDF.

On 30 September 2004. DDF was deemed to have acquired the other trusts and as a result, the underlying assets and liabilities of the other trusts were adjusted to fair value as at this date. Information from the financial statements of the subsidiaries has been included. from 1 October 2004. It should be noted that investors in DRT have been entitled to the returns from the underlying Trusts from 1 July 2004. The accounting policies of the sub-trusts are consistent with the parent.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate an elimination of inter-entity transactions and balances to present the financial statements on a consolidated basis.

Outside equity inferests in the results and equity of controlled entities. are shown separately in the consolidated Statements of Financial Performance and Statements of Financial Position respectively.

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated Statements of Financial Performance from the date on which control is gained.

Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Under this method, the consolidated entity's share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised as revenue in the consolidated Statements of Financial Performance, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves.

(c) revenue recognition

Rent

Rent is brought to account on an accruats basis and, if not received at balance date, is reflected in the Statements of Financial Position as a receivable. Recoverability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing. basis. Debts which are known to be not collectable are written off.

Income support

Rental income support is brought to account on an accruals basis in accordance with the relevant contractual arrangements.

Interest income

Interest income is brought to account on an accruais basis and, if not received at the balance date, is reflected in the Statements of Financial Position as a receivable.

(d) expenses

Expenses are brought to account on an accruais basis and, if not paid at the balance date, are reflected in the Statements of Financial Position as a payable.

Property expenses

Property expenses include rates, taxes and other property outgoings. incurred in relation to investment properties where such expenses are the responsibility of the Trusts.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest expense and other costs incurred in respect of obtaining finance.

Borrowing costs are expensed unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is those incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings until the asset is ready for its intended use or safe. Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.

Other costs incurred including loan establishment fees in respect of obtaining finance are deferred and written off over the term of the respective agreement.

(e) derivatives and other financial instruments

The Trust's activities expose it to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. There are policies and limits approved by the Board of Directors of the Responsible Entity in respect of the usage of derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge those cash flows. and earnings which are subject to interest rate risk and foreign currency rate risk respectively. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Trust's exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Trust does not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Changes in the net market values of hedging instruments are matched and brought to account with the carrying values and income streams of the underlying assets or liabilities.

The accounting policies adopted in relation to material financial instruments are detailed below:

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are carried at face vatue. Inferest is brought to account on an accruals basis.

Interest rate swaps

The Stapled Entity enters into interest swap agreements with the objective of hedging the risk of interest rate fluctuations in respect. of underlying borrowings. Net receipts and payments in relation to interest rate swaps are recognised in the Statements of Financial Performance on an accruals basis over the life of the hedges. (refer note 29).

Forward exchange contracts

Forward exchange contracts are entered into by the Trust to hedge its earnings exposure in relation to foreign investments. This currency hedge rate is used to translate items in the Statements of Financial Performance (refer note 1(u) and note 30).

The unrealised gains receivable/losses payable in respect of all currency hedges are recorded on the Statement of Financial Position.

$(9)$ $657$

Revenues, expenses and capital assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST"), except where the amountof GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. ("ATO"). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

(a) faxafion

Under current Australian income tax legislation DDF and its controlled entities, DIT and DOT, are not liable for income tax provided they satisfy the requirements of the ATO which is to distribute its taxable income. DRO has income tax expense arising from the activities of its funds management business. DRO's faxable income is taxed at the tax rate of 30 percent.

Tax effect accounting procedures were followed whereby the incometax expense in the Statements of Financial Performance is matched with the accounting profit allowing for permanent differences.

The future tax benefit relating to tax losses is not carried forward as an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of realisation. Incometax on cumulative timing differences is set aside to the deferred income tax or the future income tax benefit accounts at the rates which are expected to apply when those timing differences reverse.

Dividends received from DB RREEF Industrial Properties, Inc. ("US REIT") will be net of US withholding taxes payable in respect of those distributions. The US foreign operations fhemselves will generally not be subject to US Federal or State income taxes. provided they satisfy the necessary requirements of a Real Estate. investment Trust ("REIT").

No provision is made for additional taxes which would become. payable if certain reserves of the foreign controlled entity were to be distributed as it is not expected that any substantial amount will be distributed from those reserves in the foreseeable future.

Under current Australian income tax legislation, the security holders will be generally entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for US. withholding tax deducted from dividends paid by the US REIT.

(h) distributions

In accordance with the Trust's Constitution, the Trust distributes its distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvestment.

(i) repairs and maintenance

Plant of the Trusts is required to be overhauled on a regular basis. This is managed as part of an ongoing major cyclical maintenance program. The costs of this maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except where they relate to the replacement of a component. of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised in accordance with note 1(m). Other routine operating maintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are also charged as expenses as incurred.

notes to the financial statements (continued)

(i) cash

For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(k) receivables

Debtors to be settled within 30 days are carried at amounts due. Debts are assessed at balance date and provision is made for any doublful accounts.

(1) inventories

In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 1019: Inventories, development properties are carried at lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of development property includes the cost of acquisition, development and financing costs up until the date of practical completion.

(in) investment properties

It is the policy of the Responsible Entity to review the carrying value. of each property at the reporting date. External valuations of the individual investments are carried out in accordance with the Trust's Constitutions, or earlier where the Responsible Entity believes there may be a material change in the fair value of the property.

The valuations are measured at fair value being the amounts for which assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of each investment property does not differ materially from its fair value. at the reporting date.

A revaluation increment is credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless it is reversing a previous decrement charged as an expense in the Statements of Financial Performance in respect of that same class of assets, in which case the increment is credited. directly to the Statements of Financial Performance.

A revaluation decrement is recognised directly as an expense in the Statements of Financial Performance, unless it is reversing a revaluation increment previously credited to, and still included in the balance of the asset revaluation reserve in respect of that same class of assets, in which case it is debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.

The gain or loss on disposal of revalued assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the date of disposal and the net proceeds from disposal and is included in the Statements of Financial Performance in the year of disposal. Any related balance remaining in the asset revaluation reserve at the time of disposal is transferred to undistributed income.

Land and buildings have the function of an investment and are regarded as a composite asset. The applicable Accounting Standards do not require that investment properties be depreciated. Accordingly, the buildings and any component thereof (including plant and equipment) are not depreciated.

Expenses capitalised to properties may include the cost of acquisition, additions, refurbishment, redevelopment, borrowing costs and fees incurred.

The carrying amounts of current and non-current investment properties are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount at balance date. If the carrying amount of current and non-current investment properties exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the lower amount.

(n) leasing fees

Leasing fees incurred in relation to the initial letting of property or following redevelopments are capitalised to the property and takeninto account through periodic revaluation. Leasing fees incurred in relation to the ongoing renewal of major tenancies are capitalised and amortised over the lease periods to which they relate.

(o) lease incentives

Prospective lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into non-cancellable operating leases. These incentives may fake various forms including up front cash payments, rent freeperiods, or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit out costs. or relocation costs.

These incentives are repaid out of future lease payments and therefore are recognised as an asset in the Statements of Financial Position, Specifically:

  • rent free periods -- when provided, the rent forgiven in early years. is capitalised to a deferred incorae account, at the earlier date from which the tenant has effective use of the premises or the lease commencement date and is released to the Statements of Financial Performance in later years to ensure a constant rate of return over the term of the lease;
  • cash contributions -- where provided, the amount of contribution 額 is capitalised as an asset in the Statements of Financial Position. and written off over the term of the lease;
  • tenant fit out costs associated with fitting out a building specifically for a lessee and that are not expected to be used. beyond the term of the lease are capitalised in the Statements of Financial Position and written off over the term of the lease; and
  • 貊 llessor owned fit out - when the fit out is an asset of the lessor and can be retained by the lessor beyond the lease term, it is considered integral to the building and is capitalised into the cost of the property and adjusted through the vatuations.
  • (p) investments accounted for using the equity method/ investments in associates

Some property investments are held through the ownership of units in single parpose unlisted trusts where the Stapled Entity. exerts significant influence but does not have a controlling interest. The Stapled Entity has adopted the equity method of accounting for these investments.

Interests held by the Trust are brought to account at valuation based. on net tangible asset backing.

At the parent level, investments in associates are carried at Directors' valuation being the net tangible assets of the underlying entity, and faking into consideration market movements.

(o) acquisition of assets

The purchase raethod of accounting is used for all acquisitions. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus incidental costs. directly attributable to the acquisition.

Goodwill is brought to account on the basis described in note 1(r).

(r) goodwill

Where an entity or operation is acquired, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair value. The excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is brought to account as goodwill. and amortised on a straightline basis over the period in which the benefits are expected.

(s) pavables

These amounts represent liabilities for amounts owing by the Trusts at year end which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(t) earnings per unit

Basic and diluted earnings per stapled security is determined by dividing the net profit attributable to security bolders of the Stapled Entity by the weighted average number of ordinary stapled securities outstanding during the financial year.

(u) foreign currency

Foreign currency investments

Foreign assets and liabilities are converted to Australian Dollars. ("AUD") at the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction or at hedged rates if applicable.

Foreign investments are in the United States of America ("US") and New Zealand ("NZ").

Translation of foreign currency operations

All foreign operations are deemed self-sustaining in accordance with AASB 1012: Foreign Currency Translation, as each is financially and operationally independent of the Australian operations.

The financial reports of overseas operations are translated to Australian dollars using the current rate method, except for earnings which are translated at the applicable currency hedge contract rates. Any exchange differences are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.

Exchange rates

The following exchange rates have been used to translate financial statements of foreign operations to Australian dollars:

30 June 2005
Spot AUD/USD.
Average AUD/USD!
Statements of Financial Position
Statements of Financial Performance
0.7640.
0.7242
Spot AUD/NZD. Statements of Financial Position 1.0937.
Average AUD/NZD ® Statements of Financial Performance 1.0804
  1. The average exchange rate includes applicable hedges.

(v) international financial reporting standards ("IFRS").

The adoption of Australian equivalents to IERS ("AIERS") will be first reflected in the financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2005 and the year ended 30 June 2006.

The Responsible Entity has established a project team to manage the transition to AIFRS, including training of staff, and systems and internal control changes necessary to gather all the required financial information. In some cases choices of accounting policies are available, including elective exemptions under Accounting Standard AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to IFRS. The project is now at a stage where reaterial AIFRS adjustments are known, to enable the preparation of an opening Statement of Financial Position as at 1 July 2005, the transition date to AIFRS.

Impact of transition to AIFRS.

The impact of transition to including the selection and application. of AIFRS accounting policies, is based on AIFRS standards that management expects to be in place, or where applicable, early adopted, when preparing the first complete AIFRS financial report. The disclosures below reflect that the Stapled Entity has elected not to apply the requirements of AASB 132 and AASB 139 in the first comparative year under AIFRS.

Although the adjustments disclosed in this note are based on management's best knowledge of expected sfandards and interpretations, and current facts and circumstances, thesemay change.

Revisions to the selection and application of the AIFRS accounting. policies may be required as a result of:

  • changes in financial reporting requirements that are relevant to the Stapled Entity's first complete AIFRS financial report arising from new or revised accounting standards or interpretations. issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board subsequent. to the preparation of the 30 June 2005 financial report;
  • additional guidance on the application of AIFRS in the property industry; or
  • 8 changes to the Stapled Entity's operations.

Therefore, until the Stapled Entity prepares its first full AIFRS. financial statements, the possibility cannot be excluded that the accompanying disclosures may have to be adjusted.

Major changes identified to date that will be required to the consolidated entity's existing accounting policies include the following (references to new AASB standards below are to the Australian equivalents to IFRS issued in July 2004):

Investment properties

Under AASB 140: Investment Property, changes in the fair values of investment properties will be adjusted through the Statements of Financial Performance rather than through the asset revaluation reserve of the Statements of Financial Position. For the year ended 30 June 2005, the impact to net profit if the standard was applicable. to the year ended 30 June 2005 would have been an increase of \$208,403,000.

notes to the financial statements (continued)

On transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve as at 1 3ply 2004 will be transferred to retained earnings. This will increase the balance of retained earnings by \$153,961,000.

Certain real estate investments currently classified as investment. properties (such as properties under construction) may not meet the AIFRS definition of investment property. Therefore, a separate class of assets may be shown on the face of the Statements of Financial Position.

Financial instruments

All interest rate and foreign currency derivatives will be recognised at fair value in the Statements of Financial Position, with changes in fair value during the period recognised in the Statements of Financial Performance, or if classified as a cash flow hedge and proved to be effective, deferred in equity.

The Board has decided not to adopt hedge accounting for financial instraments in existence at 30 June 2005, which may result in future unrealised earnings volatilities, without any associated volatility in distributions. The Board will continually review this position and may elect to apply hedge accounting to financial instruments entered into the future.

The Stapled Entity has elected to adopt the exemption under AASB 1. to apply AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement only from 1 3day 2005. This allows the Stapled Entity to apply AGAAP to the comparative information of financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139 for the 30 June 2006 financial report.

Income tax

Under the AASB 112: Income Taxes, deferred tax balances are determined using the balance sheet method which calculates. temporary differences based on the carrying amounts of an entity's assets and liabilities in the Statements of Financial Position and their associated fax bases, in addition, current and deferred taxes attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. This will result in a change to the current accounting policy, under which deferred tax balances are determined using the income statement raethod, items are only taxaffected if they are included in the determination of pre-tax accounting profit and loss and/or taxable income or loss and current. and deferred taxes cannot be recognised directly in equity.

For the year ended 30 June 2005, the impact to net profit if the standard was applicable to the year ended 30 June 2005 would have been a decrease of \$18,244,000.

The change in calculating the tax deferred balance will not impact on Australian assets that are owned by trusts classed as flow through vehicles under Australian Taxation Law. Deferred tax liabilities will be required to be recognised for unrealised gains on properties held in the US REIT. Management does not expect that such liabilities will crystallise as it would seek to buy assets within the permitted time. frame after the disposal of an asset to take advantage of faxation. rollover relief in the US.

Rental revenue

Accounting Standard AASB 117: Leases, requires rental revenues to be recognised on a straightline basis over the term of the lease. This applies to operating leases with fixed rent review clauses. The Responsible Entity has analysed the impact of straightfining fixed. reviews and has determined that the amount of income that would have been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2005 if the standard had applied for this financial year would have been \$6.718,000. On transition to AIFRS, an amount of \$21.187.000 will be recognised as lease income receivable that will form part of the property portfolio. However, this would be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to income and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit and net assets of the Stapled Entity.

Lease incentives

Accounting standard AASB 117: Leases, and UIG 115: Operating Leases - Incentives, requires all lease incentives to be capitalised. and amortised over the period of the lease. The Responsible Entity has assessed the impact of this treatment based on the current lease. incentives and has estimated an additional amortisation expense and accumplated amortisation of \$8.14 million for the year ended 30. June 2005. On transition to IFRS, an amount of \$83.29 million will be recognised as unamortised lease incentives that will form part of the fair value of the property portfolio. However, this would be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to income and fo investment. properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit and net assets of the Stapled Entity.

Revenue disclosures in relation to the sale of non-current assets

Under AIFRS, the revenue recognised in relation to the sale of noncurrent assets is the net gain on the sale. This is in contrast to the current AGAAP treatment under which the gross proceeds from sale. are recognised as revenue and the carrying amount of the assets. sold is recognised as an expense. The net impact on the Statements of Financial Performance is nil.

If the policy required under AIFRS had been applied during the year ended 30 June 2005, the consolidated revenue from ordinary activities would have been \$479,043,000 lower with a corresponding reduction in the expense for the year.

Unitholders equity

Accounting Standard AASB 132: Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation, outlines and defines the criteria for recognising a financial instrument as either debt or equity. Under currentaccounting standards (AGAAP) units in a fixed life trust areconsidered equity, however under AIFRS the same instrument. would be classified as debt due to the fixed life of the issuance. Distributions paid to unitholders under this classification would be rectassed as a form of finance charge. These changes would not impact on the financial or economic position of the Stapled Entity. or that of the unitholder but would significantly impact on the presentation and disclosure in the financial accounts.

On 6 June 2005, ASIC issued class order 05/566 "Managed Investment Schemes: Perpetulity Clauses in Scheme Constitutions". This class order allows the Responsible Entity to amend a constitution by removing a termination clause and make other amendments as required so long as the changes do not materially change the nature of the scheme or have a materially adverse effect. on the interests of members.

On 7 July 2005, amendments to the Constitution were made that enable the Stapled Entity to satisfy the criteria for unitholders funds to be classified as equity. The Board was of the view that such amendments were not materially adverse to paitholders nor did they change the nature of the scheme.

These changes are the only material changes anticipated, but should not be regarded as the only changes in accounting policies that will result from the transition to AIFRS as regulatory bodies have significant engoing projects that could affect the interpretation of the differences between Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and IFRS.

While the application of IFRS may introduce volatility into forecast financial information, this will not affect the cash flows from operations.

valuations of investment properties

Properties independently valued in the fast 12 months were based on. independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute or the Appraisal Institute in the United States of America. Properties not independently valued during the last 12 months. are carried at Directors' valuation at 30 June 2005, being the independent valuation plus capital expenditure incurred since the date of valuation, and taking into consideration market movements.

Each stapled security ranks equally with all other stapled securities. for the purposes of distributions and on termination of the Trust. Each stapled security entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of each of the Trusts.

distribution reinvestment plan

Units were issued to existing unitholders under the old distribution. reinvestment plan ("DRP") in relation to distributions for the June. 2004 distribution period.

On 26 September 2004 the Trust established a new DRP under which holders of DRT stapled securities may elect to have all or part. of their distribution entitiements satisfied by the issue of new ordinary units rather than by being paid in cash.

Securities were issued under this new DRP for the December 2004. distribution and further securities will be issued for the June 2005. distribution.

On 26 August 2004, 5,917,804 securities were issued at a unit price. of \$1.1795.

On 28 February 2005, 106,718,540 securities were issued at a unit. price of \$1,2791.

stapling unit change

On 30 September 2004, the Stapled Entity was formed by the consolidation of the DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO. Each trust subscribed for units in accordance with the stapling ratios described in the Explanatory Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 August 2004.

As part of the stapling process, the Trust, DHT and DOT each paid a capital distribution that was applied on behalf of each security holder. to subscribe for new units in each of the other trusts, and DRO. As a consequence of this activity, the number of stapled securities owned by an investor in DRT equals the same number of units in the Trust, DIT, DOT and DRO.

On 19 October 2004, 1,581,311,602 units were issued by the Trust. at a unit price of \$0,2000 (refer to the Explanatory Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 August 2004). This was the price at which the Trust's units were issued to unitholders of DIT. and DOT as part of the stapling process described above. This was funded from the capital distribution that was paid by DIT and DOT.

On 4 November 2004, 41,521,457 units were issued by the Stapled. Entity at a unit price of \$1.3119. This issue of units was made inconsideration for the acquisition of management rights from FAP, all subsidiary of Deutsche Australia Limited. The securities were issued at \$1.13119 being the volume weighted average price over the tenbusiness days immediately following initial quotation of DRT. securities on the Australian Stock Exchange.

note 29. foreign currency and financial instruments

(a) credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a tenant will fail to perform contractual obligations, including horiouring the term of its lease agreement. either in whole or in part, under a contract.

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by:

  • a ensuring tenants, together with their respective credit limits, are approved; and
  • ensuring that leases are undertaken with a large number 3 of tenants.

As such, the Trust does not have a concentration of credit risk that arises from an exposure to a single tenant.

Furthermore, the Trust does not have a material exposure to a group of counterparties which are expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic or other conditions.

On-balance sheet financial instruments

The credit risk on financial assets of the Trust which have been recognised in the Statements of Financial Position is the carrying amount.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments

Credit risk from entering into interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts is the risk that interest rate swap and foreign exchange counterparties default on any amount due under the contract.

Credit risk on interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts are minimised as counterparties are recognised financial intermediaries with acceptable credit ratings determined by recognised rating agencies.

Concentration of credit risk on interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts are minimised primarily by ensuring such agreements are undertaken with a reasonable spread of counterparties.

The credit risk on interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts are approximately equal to the net fair value or replacement value (refer note 29(b)).

(b) net fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Market risk is the risk that the value of the Trust's investment. portfolio will fluctuate as a result of changes in valuations. This risk is managed by ensuring that all activities are transacted inaccordance with mandates, overall investment strategy and within approved limits. Market risk analysis is conducted regularly on a total portfolio basis.

On-balance sheet financial instruments

The net fair value of cash and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.

As at 30 June 2005, the net fair value of contracts representing the net unrealised gain from converting forward exchange contracts was \$5,599,740, calculated using market rates, taking into account the true value of money. An amount of \$8,206,995 has been recognised on the Statement of Financial Position using year end spot rates.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments

As at 30 June 2005, the net fair value of financial (liabilities)/assets arising from interest rate swap agreements was (\$9,998,293) (2004: \$2,066,881) for the Stapled Entity and (\$3,014,535) (2004; \$2.066.881) for the Trust. These financial instruments are currently not required to be recognised under Australian Accounting Standards. on the Statements of Financial Position as at 30 June 2005.

These amounts represent the potential (liability)/asset of the Trust. if existing swap agreements and forward exchange contracts as at 30 June 2005 were to be terminated.

(c) liquidity and cash flow risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to satisfy commitments. The risk management guidelines adopted are designed to minimise liquidity risk through:

  • ensuring that there is no significant exposure to any individual creditor: and
  • applying limits to ensure there is no concentration of liquidity risk to a particular counterparty or market segment.

(d) interest rate risk exposures

interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

The Stapled Entity's exposure to inferest rate risk is hedged with interest rate swaps and the weighted average effective interest rate (for each class of financial asset and financial liability, and each maturity bracket including floating rate financial assets and liabilities). is set out in the table overleaf.

note 30, contingent Habilities

On 30 September 2004, DB RREEF Industrial Properties, LLC entered into a put/call option agreement (the "Agreement") with CalWest providing the entity an option to buy six land parcels owned by CalWest. During the year ended 30 June 2005, DB RREEF Industrial Properties, LLC agreed to remove one parcel from the Agreement. While any of these parcels can individually or collectively be called from CalWest for purchase, the option to buy the remaining five land parcels will expire on 15 July 2006. On 15 July 2006, it is anticipated that all uncalled parcels will be put to DB RREEF Industrial Properties, LLC by CalWest, thereby requiring DB RREEF Industrial Properties, LLC to purchase all uncalled parcels. As at 30 June 2005, the purchase price for all the parcels is \$24.4 million. The purchase price is increased quarterly by multiplying the previous quarter's price by the applicable price factor specified in the Agreement, with a maximum purchase price of \$25.7 million that is reached at 15 Buly 2006.

On June 2005, DB RREEF Industrial Properties, LLC purchased Fort Holabird for \$13.2 million, and sold the Dornoch Court for \$15.2 million. in a tax-deferred exchange. In accordance with US tax laws, the difference between the net sales price and the purchase price (approximately \$1.6 million) is currently held in an escrow account until another property is purchased that qualifies for the exchange. It is anticipated that these funds will be used by DB RREEF Industrial Properties, LLC to purchase one of the five land parcels mentioned above and therefore the fax gain on sale will not be subject to US tax.

The Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any matters in relation to the Stapled Entity, other than those disclosed in the financial statements, which should be brought to the attention of security holders as at the date of completion of this report.

directors' and executive remineration

1. General remuneration framework

The objective of DRFM's remuneration reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns employee reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for investors, and conforms with market best practice for delivery of reward.

The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee oversee the remuneration of executives to ensure that executive reward satisfies. the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness; q
  • 娑 performance linkage/alignment;
  • q. transparency; and
  • financial and non-financial resource management. q.

In consultation with external remuneration consultants DRFM has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to its reward strategy. Alignment to investors' interests is achieved through increased focus on group performance being a core component of plan design, as well as the plan rewarding:

  • delivery of forecast returns; and gg.
  • achievement of key non-financial value drivers. q

Alignment of employees' inferests is achieved through the planrewarding capability and performance. For participants, the plan:

  • provides a clear structure for earning reward; Ø
  • delivers competitive reward for contribution to the creation of W value: and
  • provides recegnition for contribution. Ø

The plan is designed to attract and retain talented and motivated employees, and to encourage enhanced performance.

The remuneration framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, being base pay and short-term performance incentive. As an employee gains seniority within the group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of "at risk" rewards. DRFM is further developing a long-term performance incentive scheme for implementation during the year ending 30 June 2006.

To ensure that base pay is competitive, external remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice regarding market remuneration for comparable roles. Base pay for employees is reviewed annually. There are no guaranteed base pay increases for employees.

Should DRFM achieve predetermined performance targets, a short-term incentive pool, approved by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, is available for allocation to employees during the annual review. Cash incentives are payable in September each year. Performance targets are utilised to ensure that variable reward is only available when value has been created for investors, and when performance is consistent with forecasts. The incentivepool may be feveraged for performance above targets to provideincentive for employee out-performance.

Key performance indicators are linked to short-term incentives based on group, individual business and personal objectives. Performance indicators require achievement of specific targets in relation to trust. performance, as well as other key non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. Short-term incentive payments may be adjusted up or down in tine with under or over achievement against target performance levels, at the discretion of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Termination payments for the Chief Executive Officer have been agreed, including detailed provisions in the case of early termination. Agreements include a clear articulation of performance expectations.

2. Non-Executive Directors' remuneration framework and structure.

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of Directors. Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee also obtains advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and inline with market. The Chair's fee is determined independently of the fees of Non-Executive Directors, based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chair is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his/her own remuneration. Non-Executive Directors do not receive share options.

Non-Executive Directors who accept positions on Board committees. receive an additional annual fee for each committee membership. Non-Executive Directors' fees are also recommended for approval by DB RREEF Trust investors.

There were no loans, stapled securities or options issued or granted during the period to any Director or employee. No Director or Executive received any retirement benefit during the period.

note 34, events occurring after reporting date

On 7 July 2005, amendments were made to the Trust's Constitution that enable the Trust to satisfy the AIFRS criteria for unitholders' funds to be classified as equity. The Board of the Responsible Entity was of the view that such amendments were not materially adverse to unitholders nor did they change the nature of the scheme.

On 27 July 2005, the Responsible Entity lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court of New South Wales in relation to the interest payable on the settlement sum in respect of the sale of part of 1-55 Rethschild Avenue, Rosebery.

Since the end of the year, other than the matters discussed above, the directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in their report or the financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Stapled Entity, the results of those operations, or state of the Stapled Entity's aftairs in future financial periods.

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 in order to express an opinion to the stapled security holders 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. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Trust's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their 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
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.

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.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

The determination of the applicable cost base of units for unitholders who participated in the exchange facility is cuttined in a paper titled "Unitholders who participated in the Cash Safe and Exchange Facilities".

These papers were sent to relevant unitholders holders on 19 October 2004. Additional copies of these papers can be obtained. by either visiting our website at www.dbrreef.com, or by contacting the Infolline on 1800 819 675.

apportionment percentages of DRT stapled securities since stapling

For capital gains tax purposes investors need to apportion the cost of each stapled security and the proceeds on sale of each stapled. security over the four trusts that make up the stapled security. This apportionment should be done on a reasonable basis. One basis of apportionment is to use the relative net tangible assets (NTA) of each of the trusts.

Using NTA as a basis, the following table outlines the apportionment. percentages that will apply to any on or off market buying or selling of DRT stapled securities, or the issue of new DRT stapled securities. between the dates specified.

Please note that the correct allocation percentage to be used depends. on the relevant date of the specific transaction. Consequently, the allocation percentage relevant for the acquisition of a parcel of DRT stapled securities, (either on or off market, or through the issue of securities), may differ from their disposal percentage.

DRFM will periodically release revisions to this table and it will be published on its website. A copy of the schedule can be downloaded by visiting our website at www.dbrreef.com or by contacting the InfoLine on 1800 819 675.
