For a review of the results of DB RREEF Trust for the year end to 30 June 2005, refer to the attached report DB RREEF Trust Results to 30 June 2005. Attached with this Appendix 4E is a copy of the audited Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2005 together with the Independent Audit Report from PricewaterhouseCoopers.

On 27 September 2004, unitholders of the DB RREEF Diversified Trust ("the Trust" or "DDF"), DB RREEF Office Trust ("DOT"), and DB RREEF Industrial Trust ("DIT") voted to replace their respective constitutions and replace their respective Responsible Entities. The unitholders also voted to approve the stapling proposal as

outlined in the Explanatory Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 August 2004 to staple together DDF, DOT, DIT and a newly created trading trust, DB RREEF Operations Trust ("DRO"), to create the stapled entity known as DB RREEF Trust ("DRT").

For the purposes of statutory reporting, DDF was the deemed acquirer of DOT, DIT and DRO. The financial statements therefore reflect twelve months of DDF net profit and nine months of net profit from DIT, DOT and DRO. The comparative percentages are not meaningful due to this material restructure of the business that was undertaken during the period.

It should be noted that investors in DRT have been entitled to the returns of the underlying trusts from 1 July (in the case of DDF, DIT and DOT) even though the financial statements reflect the consolidated position from 1 October 2004.

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited has prepared information in addition to the financial statements that have been released to the Australian Stock Exchange that explains in greater detail the performance of the group for the year.

Dated: 25 August 2005

25 August 2005

DB RREEF Trust (ASX:DRT) Delivers initial distribution of \$281m; building blocks in place

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited (DRFM), as responsible entity of DRT, announces today the distribution for DB RREEF Trust (DRT) for the period to 30 June 2005 is \$281.3m. This represents 10.50 cents per stapled security, approximately 42% tax advantaged, which is in line with the Explanatory Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement (EM) dated 30th August 2004.

Earnings on a grouped accounting basis for the four listed entities, consistent with the EM disclosure, is \$280.8m before capital items. Earnings, as reported in the statutory accounts for the group, which adopts DB RREEF Diversified Trust as the parent entity, are \$241.0m before capital items. Consolidated pre acquisition earnings form part of the group distributions for the interim reporting period as security holders are entitled to the earnings of the group from 1 July 2004.

The key financial results for DRT are summarised in the table below:

1The "actual grouped" fgures reflect the aggregation of the four Trusts for the initial period to 30 June 2005. This accounting treatment is consistent with the disclosures as outlined in the EM and represent 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 returns of the underlying Trusts from 1 July 2004.

For statutory reporting purposes, DB RREEF Diversified Trust (DDF) has been deemed as the head entity. Accordingly, the other three listed entities comprising DB RREEF Office Trust (DOT), DB RREEF Industrial Trust (DIT) and DB RREEF Operations Trust (DRO) are consolidated as subsidiary entities for accounting purposes. The financial statements reflect twelve months of DDF results and nine months of DOT, DIT and DRO results. The earnings per stapled security per the 30 June 2005 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.

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

3 Net Profit Attributable to Security Holders reflects the writing off of transaction costs and includes capital profits.

Operating results

Total assets of DRT as at 30 June 2005 are \$7.0bn, with security holders equity of \$3.5bn. The resultant NTA per security is \$1.29, which is an increase of 7 cents per security (6%) since December 2004. Gearing, net of cash, at 30 June 2005 is 39%, an improvement on EM forecasts.

Mr Victor Hoog Antink, CEO said, "We have achieved the EM forecast while improving key metrics such as gearing and NTA. The result supports our restructure initiatives undertaken last year, and positions us to continue to deliver the broader strategies as outlined for DRT. The Board and management remain focused on delivering our stated targets and continuing to build our global real estate platform as envisaged in last year's restructure."

Completion of restructure

The twelve months to June 2005 include the first nine months of operations as DRT, following the successful restructure to reposition and expand the listed property platform in Australia to include:

  • the stapling of the listed property trusts;
  • the partial internalisation of the management platform, through the acquisition of a 50% stake in DRFM from Deutsche Australia Limited;
  • the delivery of a platform to access global real estate opportunities, expertise and partners, as demonstrated through the acquisition of an 80% interest in a \$US1bn industrial portfolio, located across 18 major US markets.

1Statistics based on net rentable area

2 Statistics based on income

Commercial portfolio

In the twelve months to June 2005, net income from the commercial portfolio increased by 5% to \$215.3m from \$205.6.m over the corresponding period to June 2004. Comparable rental growth reflected the continued challenges in major office markets, and was lower by 2%.

New leases, lease renewals and heads of agreement, accounting for more than 86,600 square metres (sqm) (16% of portfolio area), were secured.

Including current heads of agreement occupancy has increased to 93.6% compared to 91.4% as at 30 June 2004. As a result the portfolio's average lease term (by income) to expiry now stands at 5.9 years, in line with the previous year.

Construction of the Lumley Centre, a fully leased office project in Auckland, New Zealand, continues with completion expected in September 2005.

Industrial portfolio

The industrial portfolio contributed \$105.4m in net income, an increase of 8% over the corresponding twelve month period to June 2004.

Leasing activity in the industrial portfolio has remained robust with new leases, lease renewals and heads of agreement accounting for more than 175,000 sqm (15% of portfolio area).

As a result, portfolio occupancy remains in excellent condition at 98.4% (compared to 95.0%), while average lease term to expiry (by income) is 5.1 years, compared to 4.3 years previously.

During the period, over 60,000 sqm of development projects were completed, with a further 50,000 sqm under development.

Retail Portfolio

During the year DRT completed the creation of a six centre, \$1,6bn geographically diverse regional retail portfolio jointly owned with, and managed by, the Westfield Group.

This portfolio contributed \$44.2m in net income, an increase of 21% over the corresponding period to June 2004.

The \$64m West Lakes development is complete, with a yield of approximately 8.8% on capital expenditure. The first stage of the \$60m development at Mt Druitt is complete with the balance of the development due for completion early in 2006.

The moving annual turnover in the portfolio for the period ended June 2005 is summarised as follows:

Hurstville 5.901 8.266 2.9% 2.7% 17.8%

US industrial portfolio

The US industrial portfolio contributed \$88.0m in net income in the period to June 2005, which represents nine months ownership. This amount is in line with the EM forecast, with income support for the period slightly below forecast levels.

The broad based recovery in the US industrial markets continues, and DRT's US industrial portfolio is benefiting from this improvement. In the period to June 2005, new leases and lease renewals accounting for more than 1.4 million square feet (7% of portfolio area) were secured, increasing the portfolio occupancy to 88.5%. The average term to expiry of the portfolio is currently 3.4 years by income.

Sales and acquisitions

The sales and acquisitions involving DRT outlined in the EM have been completed, including the retail joint venture referred to above. Further sales completed during the period have included 144 Edward Street, Brisbane; Axxess Corporate Park, Seven Hills; McDowell Street, Weishpool; Edward Street, Brisbane; and Redwood Gardens, Dingley.

In addition, DRT acquired 343 George Street, Sydney for a consideration of \$44.5m. As well as providing DRT with a value adding opportunity it is proposed that DRFM occupy three floors of the building following completion of refurbishment in November 2005.

2. Treasury, capital management and hedging

Gearing as at 30 June 2005 is 39%, as measured by interest bearing debt (net of cash) to total assets (net of cash). Capital management initiatives undertaken during the period include:

Issue of RENTS

In June 2005, DRFM issued \$204m of RENTS, or Real-estate perpetual ExchaNgeable sTepup Securities at an issue price of \$100 each. RENTS offer investors a quarterly distribution expected to be 90% tax deferred at a margin of 1.3% above the 90 day bank bill rate. RENTS commenced trading on 16 June 2005 under the ASX code DRRPA.

Debt facilities

The underwritten \$900m syndicated bank debt and bridging facilities referred to in the EM have been established and the proceeds used to re-finance existing unsecured debt and to fund the acquisition of new assets.

During the period DRT agreed to issue a private placement of notes totalling US\$200m to US Investors. US\$160m of the notes settled in December 2004, with the balance settling in March 2005.

Duration and interest rate hedging

As a result of these initiatives, the weighted average duration of debt facilities stands at 3.0 years. For the year to June 2006, the hedging profile for US debt is approximately 78% of debt which is hedged at a blended cost, inclusive of fees and margins, of 4.53%. Approximately 89% of Australian debt is hedged at a blended cost of debt, inclusive of fees and margins, of 6.22%.

Foreign income hedging

For the year to 30 June 2006, over 90% of forecast US earnings has been hedged.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Take-up of the June 2005 Distribution Reinvestment Plan was 31%, or \$45m, resulting in the issue of approximately 33.7m securities at \$1.3477 each.

3. Funds management business

At 30 June 2005, DB RREEF Funds Management managed over \$10.6bn of assets, of which \$3.6bn are owned by third party funds. Revenue from the funds management business for the nine months to 30 June 2005 was \$40m at the DB RREEF Holdings Pty Limited level (50% owned by DRO) generating a contribution before tax to DRT of \$6.8m.

4. Senior management platform

The management platform continues to be restructured to better reflect a client orientated approach to the total funds management business, comprising responsibility for both listed and unlisted funds. The platform adopts a client account management approach whereby a range of service provider functions across property, capital management, financial, legal and operational services are provided to each of the dedicated funds. A number of senior appointments have been made to strengthen the revised management structure, with incremental appointments continuing to be made.

5. Future direction and strategy

  • DRT's focus going forward is to manage, at an operational and strategic level, our ۰ existing assets to extract greater returns while seeking new investment opportunities. These opportunities will be sourced for both our third party managed funds and DRT, from both Australia and overseas.
  • Barring unforseen circumstances, the Directors believe the trust is on track to achieve $\bullet$ the previously forecast distribution of 11.0 cents per security for the full year to June 2006.

6. Principal activities

During the year the principal activity of the Stapled Entity consisted of investment in a diversified portfolio of real estate assets within Australia, New Zealand and the United States and from September 2004 the activities of the Stapled Entity also included real estate funds management.

The number of employees of the Stapled Entity was 123 as at 30 June 2005 (2004: nil).

$\overline{7}$ . 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 on pages xxx to xxx and forms part of this Report.

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% owned by DRFM as Responsible Entity for DRO and 50% 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.

Since the end of the year, other than the matters discussed in this report, the Directors of the Responsible Entity are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or state of the Trust's affairs in future years.

$12.$ Distributions

$17.2$ Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid to the Auditor, which include amounts paid for non-audit services totalling \$1,955,428, are set out in Note 5 in the Notes to the Financial Statements,

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services provided, during the year, by the Auditor (or by another person or firm on the Auditor's behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

Reasons for the Directors being satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services, during the year, by the Auditor did not compromise the Auditor's independence are as follows:

  • Board Audit Committee has determined that the external Auditor will not provide services
  • that have the potential to impair the independence of their audit role, including:
  • participating in activities that are normally undertaken by management
  • being remunerated on a "success fee" basis
  • providing services where the Auditor may be required to review or audit their own work, includina:
  • the preparation of accounting records
  • the design and implementation of information technology systems
  • conducting valuation, actuarial or legal services
  • promoting, dealing in or underwriting securities; or
  • providing internal audit services
  • Board Audit Committee regularly reviews the performance and independence of the external auditor and whether the independence of this function has been maintained having regard to the provision of non-audit services.
  • The external auditor must provide a written declaration to the Board regarding their $\bullet$ independence each reporting period.

Since 30 June 2005, Board Audit Committee approval is required before the engagement of the external auditor to perform any non-audit service for a fee greater than \$100,000.

$17.3$ Audit independence statement

A copy of the Auditors' Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 15 of and forms part of this Report.

20. Rounding of amounts and currency

The Trust is a registered scheme of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities & 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 in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

All figures in this Report and the financial report, except where otherwise stated, are expressed in Australian dollars.

$21$ Management Representation

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer have reviewed the Stapled Entity's financial reporting processes, policies and procedures together with the Trust's risk management and internal control and compliance policies and procedures. Following that review it is their opinion that the Trust's financial records for the financial year have been properly maintained in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the financial statements and their notes comply with the accounting standards and give a true and fair view.

$22.$ Directors authorisation

This Report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

DB RREEF DIVERSIFIED TRUST (FORMERLY DEUTSCHE DIVERSIFIED TRUST) DIRECTORS' AND EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005

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 Stapled Entity") present their Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2005.

$\mathbf{1}$ . 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
  • performance linkage / alignment
  • transparency
  • financial and non-financial resource management

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
  • achievement of key non-financial value drivers

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
  • 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 shortterm performance incentive. As an employee gains seniority within DRFM, 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 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 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 line with under or over achievement against target performance levels, at the discretion of the Board Nomination & Remuneration Committee.

DB RREEF DIVERSIFIED TRUST (FORMERLY DEUTSCHE DIVERSIFIED TRUST) DIRECTORS' AND EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005

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 12 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 & 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 nonexecutive 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.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

On 30 September 2004, DB RREEF Diversified Trust and its sub-trusts ("the Stapled Entity") was formed by the stapling together of DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO ("the Trusts"). For the purposes of statutory 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 Entity 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 information has 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 interests 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.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Revenue recognition

Rent

Rent is brought to account on an accruals 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 accruals 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 accruals 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 sale. 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 value. Interest 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.

$(f)$ GST

Revenues, expenses and capital assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST"), except where the amount of 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.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(g) Taxation

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 taxable income is taxed at the tax rate of 30%.

Tax effect accounting procedures were followed whereby the income tax 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. Income tax 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 themselves 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.

(j) 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 doubtful accounts.

(I) 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.

(m) 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.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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 taken to 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 take various forms including up front cash payments, rent free periods, 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 income 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 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
  • lessor 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 valuations.

(p) investments accounted for using the equity method/ investments in associates

Some property investments are held through the ownership of units in single purpose 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 bought to account at valuation based on net tangible asset backing.

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

(q) Acquisition of assets

The purchase method 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).

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(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 using which the benefits are expected.

(s) Payables

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 holders 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 ("A\$") 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:

$\overline{a}$

Spot A\$/US\$
Average AS/US\$ 1
Statements of Financial Position
Statements of Financial Performance
-30 June 2005
0.7640
0.7242
Spot A\$/NZ\$ Statements of Financial Position 1.0937
Average A\$/NZ\$ 1 Statements of Financial Performance 1.0804

' The average exchange rate includes applicable hedges.

(v) International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The adoption of Australian equivalents to IFRS ("AIFRS") 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 material AIFRS adjustments are known, to enable the preparation of an opening Statement of Financial Position as at 1 July 2004, the transition date to AIFRS.

Impact of transition to AIFRS

The impact of transition to AIFRS, including the selection and application of AIFRS accounting policies, is based on AIFRS standards that management expect 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.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Although the adjustments disclosed in this note are based on management's best knowledge of expected standards and interpretations, and current facts and circumstances, these may 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
  • 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.

On transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve as at 1 July 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 cashflow hedge and proved to be effective, deferred in equity.

The Board has decided not to adopt hedge accounting for financial instruments 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 July 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

Staataniministikko osteen.

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 tax 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 method, items are only tax-affected 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 crystalise as it would seek to buy assets within the permitted time frame after the disposal of an asset to take advantage of taxation rollover relief in the US.

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 straightlining 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 accumulated 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 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.

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

Under AIFRS, the revenue recognised in relation to the sale of non-current 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

$\ddot{\phantom{a}}$

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 current account standards (AGAAP) units in a fixed life trust are considered 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 reclassed 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: Perpetuity 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 unitholders 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 ongoing 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 cashflows from operations.

Note 2. Individually significant items

On 29 September 2004, DB RREEF Funds Management Limited replaced DB Real Estate Australia Limited as Responsible Entity of the Trust, and replaced Deutsche Asset Management (Australia) Limited as Responsible Entity of DIT and DOT.

The management fee structure was amended to reflect new fee arrangements as follows:

Australian assets:

  • Fee: 0.45% per annum of gross assets
  • Basis: annualised average gross assets calculated on a month-end basis, in accordance with the Trusts' Constitutions
  • Calculated: monthly
  • Payment frequency: monthly
  • Effective date: 1 October 2004

No fees will be payable in relation to the DB RREEF Operations Trust.

DB RREEF Industrial Properties, Inc. (initial portfolio only):

  • Fee: 0.25% per annum of gross assets to DB RREEF Funds Management
  • Fee: 0.02% per annum of gross assets to RREEF America LLC ("RREEF") (the US Fund Manager)
  • Basis: annualised average gross assets calculated on a month-end basis, in accordance with the Trusts' Constitutions
  • Calculated: monthly
  • Payment frequency; monthly
  • Effective date: 1 October 2004
  • In addition, a management fee of US\$700,000 per annum (subject to annual escalation by reference to the US inflation rate) is payable by the US foreign operations to RREEF.

  • Performance fees no longer apply to the Trust. The last period for which performance fees were calculated for the Trust was the six months ending 30 June 2004. No performance fees were earned post 30 June 2004. Similarly, performance fees carried forward from previous periods are no longer available.

Terms and conditions

Each stapled security ranks equally with all other stapled securities for the purposes of distributions and on termination of the Trust. Each stapled security entities 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") plan in relation to distribution 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 entitlements 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, DIT 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 in consideration for the acquisition of management rights from FAP, a subsidiary of Deutsche Australia Limited. The securities were issued at \$1.13119 being the volume weighted average price over the ten business days immediately following initial quotation of DRT securities on the Australian Stock Exchange.

On 15 June 2005, DB RREEF Funds Management Limited in their capacity as Responsible Entity of DB RREEF RENTS Trust issued 2,040,000 preference units with a face value of \$100 each on the ASX. The securities, known as RENTS entitle holders to receive non-cumulative quarterly floating rate distributions at a margin 130 basis points above the 90 day bank bill rate. RENTS may exchange for cash or stapled securities on 30 June 2012 (the "Step-up Date"). For each distribution period following the Step-up Date, the margin will increase by a once only step-up of 2% per annum unless RENTS are repurchased or exchanged.

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 honouring the term of its lease agreement either in whole or in part, under a contract.

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by:

  • ensuring tenants, together with their respective credit limits, are approved, and

  • ensuring that leases are undertaken with a large number 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 in accordance 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 time value of money. An amount of \$8,206,995 has been recognised in the Statements 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 in 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

cistomata ang parananana no nom

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.

Note 29. Foreign currency and financial instruments (continued)

(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 interest 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 below:

Note 30. Contingent liabilities

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 ca 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 July 2006.

On 3 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 tax 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.

Note 32, Leases

Leasing Arrangements

Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.

The Trust has a commitment for ground rent payable in respect of a leasehold property included in property investments. An amount of \$290,356 was paid in respect of the year ended 30 June 2005 (2004: \$290,356). This commitment was reviewed in 2003 and annual lease payments were increased by a CPI factor as per the lease agreement. This commitment is next subject for review in 2012 and expires in 2037.

Directors' and Executives' Disclosures

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
  • performance linkage / alignment
  • transparency
  • financial and non-financial resource management

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
  • achievement of key non-financial value drivers

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
  • 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 shortterm performance incentive. As an employee gains seniority within DRFM, 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 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 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 line with under or over achievement against target performance levels, at the discretion of the Board Nomination & Remuneration Committee.

Note 33. Related parties (continued)

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 12 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 & 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 nonexecutive 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.

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.

Since the end of the year, other than the matter 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.

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of DB RREEF Diversified Trust:

  • gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of DB RREEF Diversified Trust and the DB RREEF Diversified Group (defined below) as at 30 June 2005, and of their performance for the year ended on that date, and
  • is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

This opinion must be read in conjunction with the rest of our audit report.

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of eash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both DB RREEF Diversified Trust (the Trust) and the DB RREEF Diversified Trust Group (the consolidated entity), for the period ended 30 June 2005. The consolidated entity comprises both the Trust and the entities it controlled during that period, including DB RREEF Office Trust, DB RREEF Industrial Trust, DB RREEF Operations Trust and their subsidiaries.

The directors of DB RREEF Funds Management Limited, the responsible entity, are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit 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.

Liability is limited by the Accountant's Scheme under the Professional Standards Act 1994 (NSW)

RICEWATERHOUSE COPERS @

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.
