sustainability report

343 George Street, Sydney NSW (Photo provided by Tyrone Branigan Productions)
The group is committed to the long term integration of sustainability practices fhroughout its business. Over a number of years, the Group has implemented sustainability strategies that promote both environmentally sustainable property management practices and appropriate corporate social responsibility. The Group believes that appropriate sustainability strategies are increasingly being demanded by tenants, regulators, employees and security holders.
Security holders' value is enhanced over time through the creation of working environments that are attractive to tenants, which enable them to improve their business productivity. This outcome improves the demand for DB RREEF properties and at the same time benefits the wider community. This increased demand will enable DB RREEF properties to command higher rents while obtaining efficiencies that will lower the operational cost of its buildings, increasing earnings.
The Directors and employees of the Group are proud of its sustainability performance. The 2006 Sustainability Report outlines many of its key achievements and outlines its objectives for the coming year. This report builds on the first sustainability report released in 2005 and forms an integrat part of the Group's regular reporting to security holders on this important activity. Further information on the sustainability program is located at www.dbrreef.com
I sustainability
The Group's sustainability strategy is based on its ability to identify risks and develop individual management programs which satisfy the social and environmental requirements of each property and its operations
The Group's most visible commitment to sustainability is reflected in its implementation of environmental sustainability projects across the property portfolio. However, the Group also recognises the opportunity to create a positive social impact and has implemented a number of inifiatives aimed at tenants, contractors, employees and the wider community.
Daring the year to June 2006, the Group has achieved a number of milestones in relation to its sustainability initiatives, including:
- winning the Facilities Management Environmental Achievement $3\%$ Award for 2006 in recognition of continual iraprovement in the field of environmental management and sustainability;
- launching its Resource Efficiency and Sustainability Initiative orceram:
- completing its own corporate fit-out, incorporating leading design 雛 and environmental initiatives to achieve high standards of sustainability: and
- 5 Star rating awarded to 30 The Bond under the Green 雛 Star - Office as Built rating fool.
The Group's target initiatives for 2007 include:
- Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) assessments for all commercial properties in the Australian portfolio;
- Green Star rating assessments on existing commercial properties $\otimes$ in the Australian portfolio:
- * recording and monitoring energy, waste and water consumption data, captured for all commercial properties in the Australian and New Zealand portfolio; and
- establishing resource efficiency project opportunities for one-third of all commercial properties in the Australian and New Zealand portfolio.
All sustainability initiatives are undertaken after identifying a positive return under appropriate social, environmental or economic criteria. The Group has demonstrated its ability to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment and society without compromising economic viability.
2. The Group corporate fit-out
The Group's commitment to environmentally sustainable principles was demonstrated through its new head office fit-out at 343 George Street, Sydney. The fit-out applied leading design and environmental initiatives to create a functional, attractive and healthy workplace for its employees.
The Group was keen to preserve the heritage features of the 81 year. old building while bringing the interior into the twenty-first Century.
Reducing energy consumption was a core objective in designing the fit-out. A revolutionary chilled-bears cooling system was installed resulting in significant indoor ecology improvements and energy savings. Sophisticated lighting control and an after-hours air-conditioning system further reduce energy demand. Energy efficient T5 fluorescent lamps were installed in office areas, while compact fluorescent light fittings were used for fixed ceiling areas. The Group chose energy efficient office equipment including fridges with a 3 Star energy rating, chilled and boiled water units with automatic shutdown modes and flat-screen PC monitors, significantly reducing heat loads and demands on the HVAC System.
In designing the fit-out, the Group was mindful of the link between employee productivity and indoor environmental quality. In addition to the chilled-beam cooling system, access to natural light was also improved. All desks are within eight metres of external windows and an atrium skylight further reduces the reliance on artificial lighting. The internal staircase adds connectivity to the workspace and work is confinishe on an outdoor garden and patio area, indoor air quality was improved by choosing paint finishes with low volatile organic compounds. Indoor plants are used to improve air quality and indoor ecological benefits.
Significant water savings were possible through the installation of AAA tap ware which were fitted with water restrictors. The toilets have a dual flush/smart flush system and the chilled/boiled water units are designed to eliminate water wastage. Dishwashers are AAA energy rated.
The Group's commitment to waste minimisation and recovery was reflected in its choice of office furniture, which was recyclable or part of a take-back scheme. The company's old furniture was donated to charity, a policy which will continue in the future for disused office furniture.
Recycling bins were installed in all breakout areas and toner cartridges are collected for recycling at regular intervals.
Overall, 343 George Street, Sydney is now a leading example of building for sustainability in the office environment.

Directors identified as independent:
- are not substantial shareholders of the company, or an officer of, $\tilde{g}^{\alpha}_{\alpha}$ . or otherwise associated directly with a substantial shareholder of the company:
- 翳 have not been, within the fast 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;

Independent Directors hold office for three years, following their first appointment (or, if appointed by the Board between annual meetings, from the date of the Annual General Meeting immediately succeeding this appointment).

3.3.1 Senior Executive remuneration framework
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has adopted a framework for Senior Executive remuneration (including the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer) which is based on the following key criteria:
- transparency, competitiveness and reasonableness: $\frac{1}{2}$
- $\tilde{w}$ linked to performance:
- has the ability to attract and retain high quality executives; and $\frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^{2}$
- aligns executives and investor interests. $\tilde{M}^2$
The objective of DRFM's remuneration framework is to ensure remuneration for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns each executive's remuneration with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for investors, and conforms to market best practice.
In consultation with external remuneration consultants. DRFM has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to its remuneration strategy. Alignment to investors' interests is achieved by a substantial proportion of executive remuneration being dependent upon performance. This ensures that remuneration for Senior Executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, is closely linked to:
- $\mathbb{S}^d$ delivery of forecast returns; and
- achievement of key non-financial value drivers. $\tilde{M}$
The remuneration framework is designed to attract and retain talented and motivated executives, and to encourage enhanced performance. The framework provides executives with a remuneration structure that encourages capability and performance by:
- providing a clear remuneration structure; and $\tilde{w}$
- $\mathbb{S}^d_L$ delivering competitive remimeration for contributing to the creation of value.
3.3.2 Components of Senior Executive remuneration
Senior Executive remaneration comprises the following components:
- $\frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^{2}$ fixed remuneration: and
- variable pay through the short term and long term performance incentives. $\frac{1}{2}$
The more senior the executive the higher the proportion of remuneration "at risk" through short and long term incentives.
Prior to DRFM's corporate restructure in September 2004 the target remuneration mix for Senior Executives was 50 percent base salary and 50 percent short term incentive. Subsequent to the restructure and following consideration of guidance from external advisors the Board Nomination and Remeneration Committee:
- $\frac{1}{2}$ commissioned the development of a long term incentive scheme; and
- revised the target remuneration mix for the Chief Executive Officer and Other Senior Executives to more closely reflect the remuneration structure of DRFM's peer group.
Application of this target mix to the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and new recruits was implemented immediately. Application of the farget mix to other Senior Executives is being progressively introduced.
DRFM's current target remuneration mix between fixed, short term and long term incentives for the Chief Executive Officer and Other Senior Executives is outlined below:
| Fixed | Short term incentive | Long term incentive |
|---|---|---|
| (% | 1%. | 1%. |
| w | 25 | |
| ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, |
The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee continue to review the target remuneration mix for all Senior Executives.
3.3.2a Fixed remuneration
To ensure that base pay is competitive, external remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice regarding market remuneration for comparable roles. Base pay for executives is reviewed annually. There are no guaranteed base pay increases for executives.
3.3.2b Performance management
DREM has in place an armial performance management program which incorporates the establishment of specific measurable, financial and non-financial targets for all executives. Performance targets are utilised to ensure that incentives are only available when yake has been created for investors.
Key performance indicators are typically a combination of financial and non-financial indicators which reflect the executive's role within DRFM and their personal objectives, and may include one or more of the following measures:
| Performance indicators | Reason for use |
|---|---|
| Fund performance indicators | |
| Total return | to ensure focus on an improving security price and delivering income to investors |
| Earnings growth | to ensure focus on improving earnings. |
| Distributions growth | to ensure focus on investor distributions. |
| Net tangible asset growth | to ensure the value of assets is maintained and improved |
| Property performance indicators | |
| Net property income per property. | to ensure focus on target income returns to investors |
| Percentage of vacant space per property. | to ensure focus on target income returns to investors. |
| Expenses against budget | to ensure focus on appropriate cost model. |
| Non-financial indicators | |
| Delivery | to ensure focus on achievement of non-financial drivers of performance |
| Team work | to ensure focus on achievement of non-financial drivers of performance |
| Employee turnover | to ensure focus on achievement of non-financial drivers of performance |
3.3.2c The incentive pool
Should DRFM achieve predetermined performance targets, an incentive pool, approved by the Board following the recommendation of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, is available for allocation to executives for the financial year. The size of the incentive pool may be increased for performance above targets to provide an incentive for out-performance. The allocation each executive receives from the incentive pool is based on the particular executive's performance against individual key performance indicators.
3.3.2d Short term performance incentive
At the end of each year, performance against set targets is assessed and the results reflected in the short term performance incentive allocation to each executive. The performance assessment is weighted to non-financial measures that vary between positions but include matters such as achieving delivery of projects, operational improvements, performance enhancements, leadership and team work.
Where performance falls below minimum threshold levels, no short term performance incentive is paid.
Short term performance incentives are payable in cash in August/September each year.
3.3.2e Long term incentives
During the 2005/06 year, the Board introduced a long term incentive scheme designed to achieve the following outcomes:
- * to more closely align Senior Executives' interests with those of investors;
- to give Senior Executives an incentive to create long term, sustainable value for investors by enabling them to benefit from the long term success of DB RREEF Trust's activities; and
- to assist in attracting and retaining high quality executives. 签。
Executives who are eligible to participate in the long term incentive scheme are each of DRFM's executive committee members, and any other Senior Executive who has been approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Eligible executives may only participate in the long ferm incentive scheme if they achieve key performance indicators to a satisfactory level. No participation is granted for less than satisfactory performance.
The long term incentive scheme employs the following concepts:
- The "Composite Total Return" is 50 percent of the total return of DB RREEF Trust, plus 50 percent of the combined asset weighted total return of DRFM's aplisted funds and mandates; and
- the "Performance Benchmark" is 50 percent of the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index for DB RREEF Trust and 50 percent of the Mercers Unlisted Property Fund Index for the unlisted funds and mandates.
directors' report (continued)
DRFM's tong term incentive scheme operates as follows:
- e each year the Board, following a recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, allocates eligible executives a long term incentive value. The long term incentive value allocated varies depending on the role of the executive and the executive's performance against key performance indicators.
- the long term incentive value is held by DRFM until the end of the three year vesting period, and is notionally reinvested during the vesting issi. period in the DB RREEF Trust (50 percent of long term incentive value) and DRFM's unlisted funds and mandates (50 percent of long term incentive value). This means that the "banked value" of the long term incentive fluctuates up and down in line with changes in the Composite Total Return:
- at the end of the three year vesting period the final long term incentive payment is determined by grossing up the final "banked value" by the Performance Moltiplier:
- the relevant Performance Multiplier is determined by comparing the Composite Total Return over the three year vesting period against the Benchmark. The table below sets out the appropriate Performance Multiplier based on the comparison of Composite Total Return against the relevant Benchmark performance groups:
| ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Performance burdie |
Less than 95%. of benchmark |
Un to 100% of benchmark . |
Up to 115% of benchmark . |
Up to $130\%$ of benchmark |
Greater than 130% -of-benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| - Performance Multiplier - | 100% | ነገበ% | 20% | 140% | 350% |
et consequently, the long term incentive payment made to each Senior Executive at the end of the vesting period is determined by the overall return received by all DRFM's investors compared to the benchmark group, with performance exceeding the benchmark group being recognised by a greater long term incentive payment.
In determining the construction of the Composite Total Return the DRFM Board considered the obligations Senior Executives have to all DRFM's investors in DB RREEF Trust and the unlisted funds and mandates. Following due consideration the Board determined that the appropriate measure for DB RREEF Trust and the unlisted funds and mandates should be the total return of each of the funds. The Board further determined that the performance Benchmark should be the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index for DRT and the Mercers Unlisted Property Fund Index for unlisted funds and mandates.
Participants in the long term incentive scheme will only receive cash payments and have no entitlement to DB RREEF Trust securities or securities in any other DRFM product. In addition, if an executive terminates their employment during the vesting period their long term incentive grant is forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
The table below sets out the movement in long term incentive values for each Senior Executive during the year.

3 Actual 2005 remuneration received from DRFM was for the nine month period commencing 1 October 2004. Remuneration paid during the three month period to 30 September 2004, the stapling implementation date, was paid by Deutsche Bank and was not a cost of DB RREEF Trust. In addition, the 2005 short term incentive values have been restated to reflect actual incentive values granted to executives in September 2005 which related to the period ended 30 June 2005. Consequently, the 2005 short term incentive amounts and corresponding line totals will differ from those published in the 2005 Annual Report.
2 A long lerm incentive scheme for other Key Management Personnel was introduced in July 2005, with an effective date of I January 2005. The above 2005 long term incentive values were therefore granted for the six month period to 30 June 2005.
3 The Board determined that Greg T Lee qualified as Key Management Personnel for part of the period to 31 January 2006.
4 Other short and long term benefits represent recruitment incentives and the pay out of retained incentives from previous employers. Peter Roberts commenced with DRFM on 5 December 2005.
3.4 employment agreements
The table below outlines employment arrangements for the Chief Executive Officer and Other Senior Executives:
| Name and title | Commencement date | Term | Termination provisions/benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Victor P Hoog Antink Chief Executive Officer |
1 October 2005. | Unlimited in term | In the event of early termination. DRFM is required to give 12 months' notice and may elect to pay out all or part of this notice period. The provision of this payment constitutes full satisfaction of the Company's obligations in respect of notice of termination. |
| Other Sepior Executives | Liniimited in term- | In the event of early termination. DRFM is required to give three months' notice and may elect to pay out all or part of this notice period. |
All other DRH executives have a standard service contract with DRH. These agreements are unlimited in term and provide for one month's notice of termination by either party. However, no notice period is required if termination is for misconduct or serious or persistent breach of the agreement.
Where termination is outside the control of the executive, including Senior Executives, or the executive is made redundant, the termination payment will vary between executives. Where a termination payment is to be made it will be determined:
in the case of Senior Executives, by the Board on the recommendation of the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee; and
in the case of all other executives, by the Chief Executive Officer on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. $\mathbb{S}^{\mathcal{M}}_{\mathcal{P}}$
In both situations the payment will take into account the seniority of the executive, the length of service, the performance of the executive, the reasons for termination and the statutory and other rights (if any) of the executive and DRH.

notes to the financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 HUNE 2006
note 1. summary of significant accounting policies
(a) basis of preparation
On 30 September 2004, DB RREEF Diversified Trust (the Trust) and its subsidiaries (the Stapled Entity) was formed by the stapling together of DDF, DFT, DOT and DRO (the Trusts). In accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002 Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements, the Stapled Entity reflects a consolidated group. The parent entity and deemed acourrer of the trusts is DDF. 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. Equity attributable to other stapled entities is a form of minority interest in accordance. with AASB 1002 and in the DDF consolidated column, represents the equity of DfT, DOT and DRO. Other minority interests represent the equity attributable to parties external to the Stapled Entity.
The DDF Consolidated column represents the consolidated financial report of DDF, which comprises DDF and its controlled entities. DIT and its controlled entities. DOT and its controlled entities and DRO and its controlled entities.
DRT stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code DRT and comprise one unit in each of the Trust, DIT, DOT and DRO. These units can not be traded separately. 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.
This financial report for the vear ended 30 June 2006 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Trusts' Constitutions, the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Equivalents to international Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).
This financial report is prepared on the going concern basis 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 for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. (refer notes $l(t)$ , $l(n)$ , $l(p)$ and $l(t)$ ),
This is the first financial report prepared in accordance with AIFRS. The Stapled Entity changed its accounting policies on 1 July 2005. to comply with AIFRS. The transition to AIFRS has been accounted for in accordance with AASB 1: First Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, with 1 July 2004 as the date of transition. Reconciliations and descriptions of the effects of transition from previous AGAAP to AIFRS are provided in note 43.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AFRS may require the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trust's accounting policies. Other than the estimation of fair values described in notes 1(f) and 1(p), no key assumptions concerning the future, or other estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date, have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the financial statements in the next annual reporting period.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2006. With the exception of financial instruments, the comparative information presented in these financial statements has been restated to reflect these adjustments.
The Stapled Entity has taken the exemption available under AASB 1 to only apply AASB 132: Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 139: Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement from 1 July 2005.
The Stapled Entity has elected not to apply AASB 3: Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred prior to the transition date of 1 July 2004.
(b) principles of consolidation
Controlled entities
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 tracted separately, the financial statements must be presented on a consolidated basis. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the Trasts is DDE
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 subsidiary Trusts are consistent with those of the parent.
The financial statements incorporate an elimination of inter-entity transactions and balances to present the financial statements on a consolidated basis.
Net profit and equity in controlled entities, which are attributable to the unit holdings of minority interests are shown separately in the Income Statements and Balance Sheets respectively.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the Income Statements from the date on which control is obtained.
The financial statements incorporate all the assets, liabilities and results of the parent and its controlled entities.
Partnerships and joint ventures.
Where assets are held in a partnership or joint venture with another entity directly, the Stapled Entity's share of the results and assets of this partnership or joint venture is consolidated into the Income-Statements and Balance Sheets of the Stapled Entity. Where assets are jointly controlled via ownership of units in single purpose. unlisted unit trusts or shares in companies, the Stapled Entity applies equity accounting to record the operations of these investments (refer note 1(s)).
(c) other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Interests held by the Trust in controlled entities and associates are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised immediately in the Income Statements.
(d) revenue recognition
Rent
Rental income is brought to account on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with fixed rent review clauses, in all other circumstances rental income is brought to account on an accruats. basis. If not received at balance date, rental income is reflected in the Balance Sheets as a receivable. Recoverability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debis which are known to be not collectable are written off.
note 1. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) revenue recognition (continued)
Interest income
Interest income is brought to account on an accruais basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at the balance date, is reflected in the Balance Sheets as a receivable.
Dividends and distribution income
Income from dividends and distributions is recognised when declared. Amounts not received at balance date are included as a receivable in the Balance Sheets.
(e) expenses
Expenses are brought to accesint on an accruats basis and, if not paid at the balance date, are reflected in the Balance Sheets as a pavable.
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.
Financing costs to financial institutions
Financing costs include interest expense and other costs incurred in respect of obtaining finance. Other transaction costs incurred including loan establishment fees in respect of obtaining finance are applied against the related financings with the amortisation of such costs being recognised through the effective interest rate on the financing over the term of the respective agreement.
Financing costs are expensed unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial period of time. to prepare for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition or construction of a qualitying asset. financing costs capitalised are those incurred in relation to that financing, net of any interest earned on those financings. Where funds are borrowed generally, financing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.
(f) derivatives and other financial instruments
The Stapled Entity has adopted the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Therefore, the Stapled Entity has applied superseded AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139.
Under AGAAP, the accounting policies were as follows:
The Stapled Entity'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 Stapled Entity's exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Stapled Entity 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 underiving assets or liabilities.
The accounting policies adopted prior to 1 3sly 2005 in relation to material financial instruments are detailed below:
(i) Debt instruments
Debt instruments are carried at face value, interest is brought to account on an accruals basis.
(ii) 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 Income Statements on an accruals basis over the life of the hedges.
(iii) Forward exchange contracts
Forward exchange contracts are entered into by the Stapled Entity to hedge its earnings exposure in relation to foreign investments. This currency hedge rate is used to translate items in the Income Statements.
The unrealised gains receivable/losses payable in respect of all currency hedges are recorded on the Balance Sheets.
The accounting policies set out below are applicable from 1 July 2005.
(i) Derivatives
The Stapled Entity's activities expose it to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, the Stapled Entity enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Policies and limits are 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 risks and foreign currency risks. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Stapled Entity's exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Stapled Entity does not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
Even though the derivatives entered into aim to provide an economic. hedge to interest rate and foreign corrency risks, the Stapled Entity has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB 139: Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly derivatives, including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, are measured at fair value with any changes. in fair value recognised immediately in the Income Statements.
(ii) Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host. contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the income Statements.
(iii) Debt and equity instruments issued by the Stapled Entity Financial instruments issued by the Stapled Entity are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements. Accordingly, ordinary units issued by DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO are classified as equity.
Further securities issued by RENTS, a controlled entity, are classified as equity and are treated as minority interest.
Interest and distributions are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification. of the related debt or equity instruments.
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity (net of tax) as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.
(iv) Loans and receivables
Loans and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment.
(g) goods and services fax
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 the expense.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statements on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from or payable to the ATO is classified as operating cash flows.
(h) taxation
Under current Australian income tax legislation DDF, DIT and DOT are not fiable for income tax provided they satisfy the requirements. of the ATO. However, DRO as a trading trust is subject to tax as follows:
- the income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on a tax rate of 30 percent. adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and sienised fax inssec-
- $\otimes$ deferred tax assets and fiabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying araount of assets and fiabilities and the corresponding tax base of those items. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary. differences to measure the deferred tax assets or liabilities;
- deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary $\otimes$ differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses;
- « deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
- ® current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly. in equity.
Withholding tax payable on dividends received by the Stapled Entity from DB RREEF industrial Properties Inc (US REIT) is recognised as an expense as incurred. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of US assets and liabilities in the Trust (held by US REIT) and their accounting carrying values at balance date. Any deferred tax liability or asset is calculated using a blend of the current withholding tax rate applicable to income distributions and the applicable US federal and state taxes.
Under current Australian income tax legislation the security holders. will generally be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for US. withholding tax deducted from dividends paid by the US REIT.
(i) distributions
In accordance with the Trust's Constitution, the Trust distributes its distributable income to paitholders by cash or reinvestment. Distributions are provided for when they are declared.
(i) repairs and maintenance
Plant is required to be overhauled on a regular basis and 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 replaced component will be derecognised and the replacement costs capitalised in accordance with note 1(p). Other routine operating maintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are also charged as expenses as incurred.
(k) cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject. to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(1) receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, which is based on the invoiced amount less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are required to be settled within 30 days and are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Stabled Entity. will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
(m) inventories
Properties undergoing or having completed construction or development for ultimate sale, are classified as inventory and are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Costis assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition, development and finance costs during development. After development is completed, finance costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.
(n) property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost. including transaction costs. Land and freehold buildings are accounted for asing the cost method. Construction in progress is subsequently recognised at fair value in the financial statements.
Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless they are reversing a previous decrement charged as as expense in the Income Statements, in which case they are credited directly to the Income Statements.
Revaluation decrements are recognised directly as an expense in the Income Statements, unless they are reversing a revaluation increment. previously credited to, and still included in the balance of the asset revaluation reserve, in which case they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.
note 1. summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(o) depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on buildings (including fit-out) is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost of each non-current asset over its expected useful life. Buildings (including fit-out) have estimated useful lives of between five and 50 years. Estimates for useful lives are reviewed on a regular basis.
(p) investment properties
Investment properties consist of properties held for long term rental vields, capital appreciation or both. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Investment properties are subsequently recognised at fair value in the financial statements.
The basis of valuation of investment properties is fair value, being the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same focation and condition and subject to similar leases. Where this is not available, an appropriate valuation method is used, which may include the discounted cash flow and the capitalisation method. Discount rates and capitalisation rates are determined based on the Trust's expertise, knowledge of the industry and where possible a direct comparison to third party rates for similar assets in a comparable location. Rental income from current leases and assumptions about future leases, as well as any expected operational cash oufflows in relation to the property, are also reflected in fair value.
External valuations of the individual investments are carried out in accordance with the Trusts' Constitutions, or may be earlier where the Responsible Entity believes there is a potential for a material change in the fair value of the property.
Changes in fair values are recorded in the Income Statements. The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property 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 Income Statements in the year of disposal.
Subsequent redevelopment and refurbishment costs (other than repairs and maintenance) are capitalised to the investment property where they result in an enhancement in the future economic benefits of the property. Repairs and maintenance are accounted for inaccordance with note 1(i).
Held for sale investment properties
Investment properties intended for sale are separately disclosed. on the Balance Sheets as "Held for safe investment properties". Such properties are measured using the same methodology as investment properties.
(g) leasing fees
Leasing fees incurred are capitalised and amortised over the lease periods to which they relate.
(r) lease incentives
Prospective lessees may be offered incentives as an inducement to enter into operating leases. These incentives may take various forms including cash payments, rent free periods, or a contribution to certain lessee costs such as fit-out costs or relocation costs
The costs of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis from the earlier of the date which the tenant has effective use of the premises or the lease commencement. date to the end of the lease term. The carrying amount of the lease incentives is reflected in the fair value of investment properties.
(s) investments accounted for using the equity method
Some property investments are held through the ownership of units in single perpose unlisted trusts or shares in unlisted companies. where the Stapled Entity exerts significant influence or joint control. but does not have a controlling interest. These investments are considered to be associates and the equity method of accounting is applied in the financial statements.
Under this method, the entity's share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised as income in the Consolidated Income Statements. The curriciative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends or distributions receivable from associates are recognised in the parent. entity's Income Statements, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Stabled Entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any unsecured receivables) the Stapled Entity does not recognise any further losses. unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(t) acoulsition of assets
The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions. including business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods providea more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.
Identifiable assets acquired and fiabilities and contingent fiabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the assets and tiabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer note) 1(u)). If the cost is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired. the difference is recognised directly in the Income Statements.
Where settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their presentvalue as at the date of exchange at the entity's incremental financing rate.
(u) goodwill
Where an operation or entity is acquired, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair vatue. The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of the identifiable net assets is brought to account as goodwill in the Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the goodwill is tested for impairment at each reporting date with any decrement in value taken to the Income Statements as an expense.
(y) fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement and for disclosure ourposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and available for sale securities). is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Stapled Entity is the current bid price. The appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined. using valuation techniques including dealer quotes for similar instruments and discounted cash flows. In particular, the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows and the fair value of forward exchange rate contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates. at the balance sheet date.
(w) payables
These amounts represent liabilities for amounts owing at balance date. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(x) interest bearing flabilities
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement.
(v) earnings per unit
Basic and diluted earnings per unit are determined by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent entity (DDF) by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the year.
(z) foreign currency
ttems included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Trust's functional and presentation currency.
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end. exchange rates of monetary assets and fiabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the tacome Statements.
(ii) Foreign operations
Foreign operations are located in the United States of America (US) and New Zealand (NZ). These operations have functional currencies of US Dollars and NZ Dollars respectively, which are translated into the presentation corrency.
The assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange differences arising are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation on or after the date of transition to AIFRS are treated as assets and fiabilities of the foreign operation and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.
(aa) segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing services within a particular geographic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other geographic eavironments.
(ab) rounding of amounts.
The Stanled Entity is the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100 issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. relating to the rounding off of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
(ac) new accounting standards and UIG interpretations.
Certain new accounting standards and UIG interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2006 reporting period. Our assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:
(i) AASB 7: Financial Instruments Disclosure and AASB 2005-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 132, AASB 101, AASB 114, AASB 117, AASB 133, AASB 139, AASB 1, AASB 4, AASB 1023 and AASB 1038).
AASB 7 and AASB 2005-10 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. AASB 7 requires qualitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specific minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Trust has elected not to adopt the standard early. Application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
- (ii) AASB 2005-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 139, AASB 132, AASB 1, AASB 1023 and AASB 1038).

Accordingly, the Trust enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the movements 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 risks and foreign currency 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.
(a) credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by:
- « ensuring tenants, together with the respective credit limits, are approved and ensuring that leases are undertaken with a large number of tenants; and
- ensuring derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. The Trust has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Credit risk is further minimised by spreading transactions amongst approved counterparties.
As such, the Trust does not have a concentration of credit risk that arises from an exposure to a single tenant or financial institution.
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 Balance Sheets is the carrying amount.
(b) market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that movements in exchange rates used to convert foreign currency revenues, expenses, assets, or liabilities to the Trust functional corrency will have an adverse affect on the Stapled Entity.
The Trust operates internationally with investments in the United States and New Zealand and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures in US and NZ dollars.
Forward contracts are used to manage foreign exchange risk.
(ii) Fair value interest rate risk
Refer to (d) on the following page.
(iii) Price risk
This 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.
note 33. financial risk management (continued)
(c) liquidity 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 maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
(d) cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Interest rate risk for the Trust arises from its borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Trust to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Trust to fair value interest rate risk.
A portfolio approach to interest rate risk management is adopted whereby generally any fixed rate debt is converted into floating rate exposure via fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. This mitigates fair value interest rate risk. The Trust then manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed inferest rate swaps. Under the inferest rate swaps, the Trust agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.
Fixed debt and swaps currently in place cover approximately 95 percent (2005: 84 percent) of the loan principle outsfanding, with a further \$2.7 billion (2005: \$1.1 billion) in swaps that are forward starting.
The Trust'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 following table.

- Actual 2005 remuneration received from DRFM was for the nine month period commencing 1 October 2004. Remuneration paid during the 3 month period to 30 September 2004, the stapling implementation date, was paid by Deutsche Bank and was not a cost of DB RREEF Trust. In addition, the 2005 short term incentive values have been restated to reflect actual incentive values granted to Executives in September 2005 which related to the period ended 30 June 2005. Consequently, the 2005 short term incentive amounts and corresponding line totals will differ from those published in the 2005 Annual Report.
2 A long ferm incentive scheme for other Key Management Personnel was introduced in July 2005, with an effective date of 1 January 2005. The above 2005 tong term incentive values were therefore granked for the six month period to 30 June 2005.
The Trust has taken advantage of the relief provided by ASIC Class Order 06/50 and has transferred the detailed remuneration disclosures to the Directors' Report. The relevant information can be found in section 3 of the Directors Report on pages 48 to 54.

On 11 July 2006, DIT France Logistique, a wholiv owned subsidiary, acquired all of the issued shares in Prologis France XXXII EURL for a cash consideration of \$23,728,219.

The assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition are as follows:
| Provisional fair value \$'000 |

| Group borrowings | (19.079) | (19.079) |
| Deferred capital gains tax liability | (6.915) | |
| Net identifiable assets acquired | 16,812 | (101) |
The goodwill on consolidation arises because the consideration paid for Prologis France I and Prologis France XXXII exceeds the values at which its net assets are required to be recognised in the financial statements. The differences are primarily attributable to lafent CGT liabilities, which arise as a result of the properties' fair market values exceeding their tax base values.
It is unlikely that the CGT liability will ever crystallise. Crystallisation would require that the companies dispose of the properties concerned individually and it is the intention of the companies to hold these properties as long term investments. Should DB RREEF Industrial Trust wish to sell the properties, it would likely sell the structure rather than the properties. However, AASB 112: Income Taxes requires the recognition of a liability in respect of such latent CGT (at an undiscounted amount) even if the entity does not intend to dispose of the asset concerned.
The financial effects of the above transactions have not been brought to account at 30 June 2006. The operating results and assets and liabilities of the companies will be consolidated from 11 July 2006.
acquisition of additional land
In July 2006 DfT exchanged contracts to acquire a 65.4 hectare site at Laverton North, Victoria for \$32 million, with settlement due in November 2006. This site is adjacent to DIT's existing holdings, and provides a strategic extension to this development, in which several recent and pending pre-commitments have utilised a number of major lots.
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 periods.

(c) reconciliation of the statements of cash flows for the trust
The adoption of AIFRS has not resulted in any material adjustments to the Statements of Cash Flows.
(d) notes to the reconciliation for the Trust
(i) Rental revenue
Under AGAAP, the amount of rental revenue recognised in each reporting period was determined according to the contracted amount owed by each tenant for that reporting period.
AASB 117: Leases, requires rental revertues from leases with fixed rent review clauses to be straight-lined over the life of the lease. This will result in changes to rental revenue recognised in each reporting period, and the recognition of a straight-lining asset, which will be included as part of the book value of the property to which it relates. However, these will 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 Triet.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | Rental revenue increased by \$5,744,000 and increment on revaluation of investments decreased by \$5.744.000. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
(ii) Revenue disclosures in relation to the sale of non-current assets.
Under AGAAP, gross proceeds from the safe of non-current assets were recognised as income and the carrying amount of the assets sold was recognised as an expense. Under AIFRS, the revenue recognised in relation to the sale is the net gain on sale.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | Proceeds from sale of investment properties of \$504,750,000, and book value of property investments sold of \$479,043,000, are no longer shown in the Incorne Statements, with the net amount of \$25,707,000 being shown instead as net gain on sale of investment properties. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | Proceeds from the sale of investment properties of \$463,446,000, and book value of property investments sold of \$441,681,000, are no longer shown in the Income Statements, with the net amount of \$21,765,000 being shown instead as net gain on safe of investment properties. |
(iii) Tax expense
Previously, under AGAAP, depreciation allowances for tax purposes, revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT and the revaluation of derivatives did not impact on the tax expense in the Income Statements. A liability was only recognised if management intended to dispose of an investment property, without acquiring a replacement asset, within the permitted time frame.
Under AASB 112: Income Taxes, deferred tax balances are determined using the balance sheet method. A deferred tax liability is recognised for depreciation allowances for tax purposes, revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT and the revaluation of derivatives associated with this operation. This change does not impact on Australian assets owned by trusts classed as flow through vehicles under Australian Taxation Law.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 3uly 2004. | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| At 30 June 2005 | Deferred tax liabilities increased by \$23.637.000 and foreign currency translation reserve has increased by \$123,000. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | Withholding tax expense has increased by \$23.514.000. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| At 1 3uly 2004 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| At 30 June 2005 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
(iv) Lease incentives
Under AGAAP, the policy of the Trust was to capitalise rent free incentives and leasing fees and amorfise these over the life of the lease with the amortisation expense being shown as part of property expenses. The amortised balances of these incentives were shown as an asset separate to the properties to which they related. Fit-out and cash incentives owned by the lessor were capitalised into the book values of the properties to which they related.
Under AASB117: Leases, and U(G 115: Operating Leases - Incentives, all lease incentives are required to be capitalised and amortised against property revenue over the life of lease to which they relate. All incentives will now be incorporated into the property book values. Amortisation recorded on these incentives will be offset by a notional fair value adjustment to the income Statements and to investment properties to bring the balance of the investment properties back to fair value, resulting in no impact to the net profit of the Trust.
note 43. explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(iv) Lease incentives (continued)
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 July 2004 | Other assets - current decreased by \$607,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$941,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$1,548,000. |
| At 30 June 2005 | Other assets - current decreased by \$2,412,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$16,090,000 and investment properties increased by \$18,502,000. \$11,732,000 of the increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluations since the transition date. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | Property expenses decreased by \$1,506,000, property revenue decreased by \$9,658,000 and increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$147,000 with the remainder being taken to investment properties. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| At 1 July 2004 | Other assets - current decreased by \$607,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$941,000 and undistributed income decreased by \$1,548,000. |
| At 30 June 2005 | For the parent entity other assets - current decreased by \$480,000, other assets - non-current decreased by \$1,295,000 and investment properties increased by \$1,775,000. \$86,000 of the Increase in investment properties has been adjusted through revaluations since the transition date. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | Property expenses decreased by \$430,000, property revenue decreased by \$2,465,000 and the increment on revaluation of investments increased by \$546,000, with the remainder being taken to investment properties. |
(v) Investment property
Under AGAAP, revaluation increments and decrements on investment properties were recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, such revaluation increments and decrements are recognised through the income Statements.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 July 2004 | The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$153.961.000 and undistributed income increased by \$153.961.000. |
| At 30 3cme 2005 | The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$425.217,000, undistributed income increased by \$218,816,000 and minority interest decreased by \$1,294,000 with the remainder being taken to the income Statements. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$267,138,000 and net profit attributable to minority interest has increased by \$59.111.000. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| At 1 July 2004 | The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$153.961.000 and undistributed income increased by \$153,961,000. |
| At 30 Jane 2005 | The asset revaluation reserve was decreased by \$189,575,000 and undistributed income increased by \$147,717,000, with the remainder being taken to the Income Statements. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$41,849,000. |
(vi) Property, plant and equipment
Under AGAAP, properties under construction were included in, and accounted for, as investment properties. Under AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment, properties under construction have been reclassified in the Balance Sheets as property, plant and equipment.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 July 2004 | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| At 30 June 2005 | Investment properties decreased by \$27,913,000 and property, plant and equipment increased by \$27.913.000. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| At 1 July 2004 | There is no effect on the parent eatity. |
| At 30 June 2005 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
(vii) Investments accounted for using the equity method
All investments accounted for using the equity method held by the Trust now apply the AIFRS standards. Under AASB 140: Investment Property, revaluation increments and decrements are now shown in the Income Statements. Also, under AASB 112: Income Taxes, a deferred tax expense is recognised for tax depreciation allowances and revaluations of investment properties held in the US REIT.
As a result, these adjustments are now reflected in the share of net profits of associates using the equity method on the Income Statements. and the investments accounted for using the equity method on the Balance Sheets.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 Buly 2004. | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| At 30 June 2005 | Investments accounted for using the equity method decreased by \$242,000 with the adjustment taken to undistributed income. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| At 1 Buly 2004 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| At 30 June 2005 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
(viii) Investments in associates
Under AGAAP, revaluation increments and decrements on investments in associates were recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. Under AASB 139: Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement, such revaluation increments and decrements are recognised through the Income Statements.
Further on transition to AIFRS, the balance of the asset revaluation reserve was transferred to undistributed income.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 3uly 2004 | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| At 30 June 2005 | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| At 1 3uly 2004 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| At 30 June 2005 | The asset revaluation reserve decrease by \$54,165,000 and investments in associates decreased by $$14,539,000.$ |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | The increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$39,626,000. |
(ix) Investments in controlled entities
All investments in controlled entities held by the parent entity now apply the AIFRS standards. This has resulted in a reduction of the net asset. value of the underlying sub-trusts. Accordingly, the parent entity has revalued its investment in controlled entities which is now reflected in the increment on revaluation of investments on the Income Statements, and the investments in controlled entities on the Balance Sheets.
| The effect on the Trust is: | |
|---|---|
| At 1 3uly 2004 | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| At 30 June 2005 | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | There is no effect on the Trust. |
| The effect on the parent entity is: | |
| - At 1 Buly 2004 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| At 30 June 2005 | There is no effect on the parent entity. |
| For the year ended 30 June 2005. | The distributions received decreased by \$3,100,000 and the increment on revaluation of investments has increased by \$3,100,000. |
(x) Derivatives
Under previous AGAAP, derivatives were not recorded on Balance Sheets but disclosed in the notes to the accounts. The Trust has elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB139: Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value through the Income Statements and recognised on the Balance Sheets. However, the Trust has adopted the exemption available under AASB 1 to apply AASB 132 and AASB 139 from 1 July 2005. Therefore the Trust has applied previous AGAAP in the comparative information on financial instruments within the scope of AASB 132 and AASB 139.
note 43, explanation of transition to Australian Equivalents to IFRS (continued)
(x) Derivatives (continued)
At 1 July 2005 for the Trust:

We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the stapled security holders of the Trast. Our andit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide resonable assuming as to whether the financial report is free of mozerial misstatement and the remuneration disclosures comply with AASB 124 and the Corporations Regulations 2007. 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 statuntee that all material misstatements have been detected. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.gwc.com/au/fluancialstatementaudit.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- esamining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclasures in the financial report and remuneration disclosures, and
- assessing the approcriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonablences of significant accounting culimates made by the directors.
Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it cograins any material inconsistencies with the financial regert.
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our mulit was out designed to provide assumence on huernal controls.
Clur and h did not involve an analysis of the prodence of business decisions made by the directors of the Responsible Entity or management.

apportionment percentages of DB RREEF 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 tollowing table outlines the apportionment percentages that will apply to any on or off market buying or selling of stapled securities, or the issue of new 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 stapled securities, (either on or off market, or through the issue of securities), may differ from their disposal percentage.
The Group 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 centacting the InfoLine on 1800 819 675.
