Results commentary

DEXUS Property Group's funds from operations for the year have increased 19.3 percent to \$423.8 million. However, after adjusting for \$59.3 million capital distribution in respect of the equity raisings during the period the increase in funds from operations for the year was 2.6 percent. Funds from operations per security for the year have decreased by 12.4 percent to 10.43 cents per security due to the dilutionary impacts of the two equity raisings that occurred in December 2008 and March 2009. Distributions for the year have decreased 38.7 percent to 7.3 cents per security primarily as a result of a reduction in the pay out ratio to 70 percent of funds from operations and the dilutionary impacts of the two equity raisings that occurred during the period. Total assets decreased 10.7 percent over the period to \$8.4 billion at 30 June 2009. Net tangible assets per security decreased 42.9 percent to \$1.01 per security. Gearing (net of cash) has decreased to 31.2 percent as at 30 June 2009.

Specific movements in the Income Statement for the year ended 30 June 2009 were:

Revenue from ordinary activities was \$775 million (2008: \$700 million), up 10.8 percent primarily as a result of:

  • Asset, property and development management fees resulting from the internalisation and consolidation of the management company from 21 February 2008;
  • Acquisition of the Whirlpool facilities in Toronto, Canada in December 2007 and Perris, California in January 2008;
  • Currency impact in respect of international assets; and
  • An increase in income arising from the underlying domestic property portfolio.

offset by:

  • Disposal of five retail properties to DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund for \$950 million in October 2007 resulting in lower property revenue; and
  • Demolition of the Bligh St properties in Sydney and Albert St car park in Brisbane in early 2008 which also resulted in lower property revenue.
  • A decrease in income arising from the underlying international property portfolio.

Earnings from operating activities were \$526 million (2008: \$498 million) up 5.7 percent primarily as a result of:

  • Asset, property and development management fees resulting from the internalisation and consolidation of the management company from 21 February 2008;
  • Acquisition of the Whirlpool facilities in Toronto, Canada in December 2007 and Perris, California in January 2008;
  • Currency impacts in respect of international assets; and
  • An increase in income arising from the underlying domestic property portfolio.

offset by:

  • Disposal of five retail properties to DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund for \$950 million in October 2007 resulting in lower property revenue;
  • Profits arising from the sale of a 50% interest in the Coles Chilled Distribution Facility at North Laverton in the prior period;
  • Demolition of the Bligh St properties in Sydney and Albert St car park in Brisbane in early 2008 which also resulted in lower net property income; and
  • A decrease in income arising from the underlying international property portfolio.

Net loss attributed to security holders after minority interests was \$1,459 million (2008: profit of \$438 million) down 432.9 percent, primarily as a result of non-cash items:

  • Impact of negative revaluations and impairments (\$1.7 billion) during the period compared to the prior period (positive revaluations of \$184.4 million); and
  • Net movements in the fair value of derivatives (\$243.7 million) compared to the prior period (\$73.0 million).

offset by:

Tax benefits in the current period of \$120.2 million compared to the prior period tax expense of \$7.9 million. This is primarily due to deferred tax benefits as a result of property revaluations and mark to market losses of derivatives.

Specific movements in the Balance Sheet for the year ended 30 June 2009 were:

  • Impact of revaluations and impairments (\$1.7 billion) during the period offset by currency impact in respect of international assets (\$448.5 million) and capital expenditure resulted in a decrease in total assets of 10.7 percent to \$8.4 billion (2008: \$9.3 billion).
  • Total borrowings for the group decreased 16.6 percent to \$2.5 billion (2008: \$3.0 billion) primarily as a result of the use of the equity raising proceeds (\$1.1 billion) to repay debt and a reduction in the payout ratio to 70% of funds from operations offset by currency impact (\$399.5 million) in relation to foreign denominated borrowings together with capital expenditure incurred during the period. Gearing (net of cash) as at 30 June 2009 was 31.2 percent (2008: 33.2 percent).
  • To ensure that group NTA is not impacted by currency fluctuations, the group has a policy to hedge the balance sheet, whereby currency translation movements in assets and liabilities are offsetting. This is represented by the natural hedge position reflected above. That is, currency related movements in international assets of \$448.5 million, are broadly equivalent to currency movements in foreign denominated borrowings of \$399.5 million and unrealised currency movement in the value of cross currency swaps of \$66.2 million.
  • Net tangible assets per security were \$1.01 (2008: \$1.77), a decrease of 42.9 percent primarily as a result of revaluations and impairments, movement in fair value of derivatives and the impact of equity raisings and DRP during the period.

2. Board oversight of remuneration

The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee ("Committee") oversees the remuneration of Directors and Executives. The Committee is responsible for reviewing, and recommending to the Board, Executive remuneration policies and structures.

The Committee assesses the appropriateness of the structure and quantum of Director and Executive remuneration on an annual basis by reference to relevant regulatory and market conditions, and engages external consultants as required to provide independent advice.

The role and membership of the Committee is set out in the Corporate Governance Statement, which may be found at http://www.DEXUS.com/Corporate-Governance.aspx.

During the reporting period Nomination and Remuneration Committee members were Messrs Beare (Chair), Ewen, Scullin and Conde (commencing 1 May 2009). Further to his appointment to the Board in April 2009 the Board resolved that Mr Conde be appointed Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee effective 31 August 2009.

3. Non-Executive Directors' remuneration framework

The objectives of the Non-Executive Directors' remuneration framework are to ensure Non-Executive Directors' fees reflect the responsibilities of Non-Executive Directors and are market competitive. Non-Executive Directors' fees are reviewed annually.

Non-Executive Directors, other than the Chair, receive a base fee plus additional fees for membership of Board Committees. The table below outlines the fee structure for the reporting period.

Committee Chair $($ \$) Member (\$)
Non-Executive Director 300,000 130,000
Board Audit & Risk 30,000 15.000
Board Finance 30,000 15,000
Board Compliance 15,000 7.500
Board Nomination & Remuneration ٠ 7,500

3. Non-Executive Directors' remuneration framework (continued)

Mr Leitner was an employee of RREEF America Inc., a Deutsche Bank group company, during the year ended 30 June 2009. and was not paid fees or any other remuneration by DEXUS. Mr Fay, the alternate Director to Mr Leitner, received a consulting fee equivalent to the base fee earned by Non-Executive Directors.

During the year the Board considered the establishment of a Committee to oversee property acquisitions, disposals and developments. However, whilst the Board concluded that a formal Committee was not appropriate, it determined that Mr Ewen be paid a fixed fee of \$30,000 per annum for assuming additional responsibilities involved in attending meetings and reviewing property investment proposals on its behalf.

Recognising the greater responsibility and time commitment required the Chair receives a higher fee than other Non-Executive Directors, which is benchmarked to the market median of comparably sized ASX listed entities. The Chair receives no Board Committee fees, nor is the Chair present during any discussion relating to the determination of the Chair's fees.

Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to receive performance based remuneration or accrue separate retirement benefits beyond statutory superannuation entitlements.

Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are paid from a remuneration pool of \$1,750,000 per annum, which was approved by DEXUS security holders at its Annual General Meeting held in October 2008. Non-Executive Directors' fees were last adjusted in July 2007. Non-Executive Directors have received no increase in fees since that time. The next review of fees will be in respect of the year commencing 1 July 2010.

4. Approach to Executive remuneration

Philosophy underlying Executive remuneration

The Directors expect that superior execution and delivery of the DEXUS business model will create superior security holder value, through the delivery of consistent returns, generated with relatively moderate risk. The Directors consider that an appropriately skilled and qualified Executive team is essential to achieve this objective. DEXUS' approach to the structure and quantum of Executive remuneration is therefore designed to attract, motivate and retain such an Executive team.

In setting the remuneration structure, the Directors are conscious that the business of DEXUS involves longer term property investments and customer relationships. In addition, property market returns have tended to be cyclical, particularly when coupled with financial structures that act to enhance returns.

Taking these considerations into account, the Executive remuneration structure and quantum is based on the following criteria:

  • (a) market competitiveness and reasonableness;
  • (b) alignment of Executive performance payments with achievement of the Group's objectives within its risk framework, and reinforcement of DEXUS' values-based culture; and
  • (c) an appropriate target mix of remuneration, including performance payments linked to security holder returns over the longer term, and the avoidance of incentives that encourage short term decision taking.

DEXUS' Executive remuneration structure may be summarised as follows:

  • fixed remuneration, targeted at the median of fixed remuneration of entities in the comparison group, with reference to each Executive's skills and depth of experience;
  • total remuneration, targeted at the market median, and awarded on a variable scale for each Executive which could result in a total remuneration range from lower quartile to upper quartile, reflecting differing levels of experience, role structure and individual contribution; and
  • a single pool of funds available to meet performance payments, which is divided between short-term and long term elements.

3. Remuneration Report (continued)

4. Approach to Executive remuneration (continued)

(a) Market competitiveness and reasonableness

DEXUS has determined a comparison group, for remuneration benchmarking purposes, from:

    1. constituents of the S&P/ASX 100 index:
    1. constituents of the listed Australian Real Estate Investment Trust ("A-REIT") sector; and
  • other property industry entities. $\mathbf{R}$

As noted above, a single pool of funds is made available to meet all performance payments. The pool of funds available is sufficient to ensure that DEXUS can achieve its total remuneration positioning target, relative to the market. The Board exercises its discretion to vary the size of the available pool by reference to such factors as:

  • three year absolute total security holder return;
  • management costs and revenue of DEXUS Holdings; and
  • performance against budgeted earnings per security and distribution per security, recognising capital adjustments.

(b) Alignment of Executive performance payments with achievement of the Group's objectives

The key performance measures that determine performance payments are typically a combination of financial and non-financial objectives which reflect each Executive's role, responsibility, accountability and delivery.

These objectives can include:

  • Financial performance objectives
  • Earnings per security
  • Distributions per security (in line with its Distribution Policy)
  • Third party funds performance
  • Total security holder return, relative to peers
  • Property performance objectives
    • Operating earnings
    • Percentage of vacant space per property
    • Expenses against budget
  • Non financial performance objectives
  • Tenant satisfaction
  • Employee engagement
  • Executive succession and talent management
  • Delivery of strategic projects to meet time and budget requirements
  • Behaviour that reinforces DEXUS' cultural values

These objectives have been selected as the Directors consider them to be the key drivers to achieve superior security holder returns over time.

The Committee reviews and approves CEO and other Executive key performance indicators (KPIs) against Group objectives at the start of each financial year and reviews achievement against KPIs at the end of each year.

3. Remuneration Report (continued)

4. Approach to Executive remuneration (continued)

(c) Target mix of remuneration

The target remuneration mix for Executives, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, is provided in the table below.

2009 2008
Remuneration component CEO CFO Other
Executives
CEO Property
Executives
Other
Executives
Total fixed 35% 40% 50% 40% 45% 50%

30% 30% 25% 30% 30% 25%
Long term performance
payment ("LTPP")
35% 30% 25% 30% 25% 25%

The Directors consider that allocating performance payments evenly between immediate short term payments and deferred long term payments is appropriate for Executives other than the CEO, whose performance payment is weighted to the longer term to provide relatively greater alignment with long term returns to security holders.

Executive remuneration structure

The table below outlines the structure of DEXUS' Executive remuneration.

set out in the target remuneration mix table above.
Delivery of LTPP is deferred for three years, as described below.
٠

4. Approach to Executive remuneration (continued)

Performance payments

Annual performance payments have two elements, being immediate short term and deferred long term cash payments. As noted above, an award of a performance payment is dependent on the extent of achievement of objectives reflected in specific KPIs.

Should an Executive be awarded a performance payment, the payment is split between STPP and LTPP using the ratio set out in the target remuneration mix table above.

Short term performance payment (STPP)

The STPP is delivered in cash in September each year, following the end of the financial year.

Long term performance payment (LTPP)

The LTPP is delivered in cash in accordance with the vesting schedule as set out in the Long Term Incentive Plan rules.

The actual cash payment is based upon the subsequent three year returns of a combination of the returns received by DEXUS security holders and the returns received by its unlisted funds and mandates. Returns exceeding the benchmark are recognised by a greater long term performance payment.

The Long Term Incentive Plan operates as follows:

  • Following allocation into the plan, payments are subject to a three year vesting period from allocation date;
  • The LTPP allocation value is notionally invested during the vesting period in DEXUS securities (50 percent of LTPP value) and its unlisted funds and mandates (50 percent of LTPP value);
  • During the vesting period, LTPP allocation values fluctuate in line with changes in the "Composite Total Return" (simulating the notional investment exposure), comprising 50 percent of the total return of DEXUS securities and 50 percent of the combined asset weighted total return of its unlisted funds and mandates; and
  • At the conclusion of the three year vesting period, if the Composite Total Return meets or exceeds 100% of the Composite Performance Benchmark, the Board may approve the application of a performance factor to the final LTPP allocation value:
  • The "Composite Performance Benchmark" is 50 percent of the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index and 50 percent of the Mercer Unlisted Property Fund Index over the 3-year vesting period;
  • For performance up to 100% of the Composite Performance Benchmark, executives receive an LTPP allocation reflecting the Composite Total Return of the preceding 3 year vesting period; and
  • For performance between 100% and 130% of the Composite Performance Benchmark a performance factor may be applied, ranging from 1.1 to a maximum of 1.5 times.

Provisions regarding the vesting of LTPP in the event of termination of service agreements are outlined in section 7 below.

Equity options scheme

DEXUS does not operate an equity option scheme as part of its Executive remuneration structure. The Committee has considered the introduction of such a scheme, but has determined that it would not be, at the present time, an appropriate component of the remuneration structure in light of DEXUS' business model.

Equity and loan schemes

DEXUS does not operate a security participation plan or a loan plan for Executives or Directors.

The long term element of DEXUS' performance payment is designed to simulate an equity plan, but does not provide Executives with direct equity exposure.

Hedging policy

DEXUS does not permit Executives to hedge their LTPP allocation during the vesting period.

5. Executive remuneration arrangements for the year ended 30 June 2009

This section outlines how the remuneration approach described above has been implemented in the 2008/09 financial year.

Changes made during the year ended 30 June 2009

Remuneration structure

As part of the Committee's annual review of the Executive remuneration structure, a number of changes were made during the year ended 30 June 2009. These included:

  • (a) evaluation and revision of the target remuneration mix for Executives;
  • (b) allocation of performance payments between STPP and LTPP in accordance with the target remuneration mix;
  • (c) increased focus on the review of appropriate and challenging KPIs for CEO and other Executives by Committee;
  • (d) additional entities incorporated in the comparison group used to benchmark Executive remuneration.

Long Term Incentive Plan review

The DEXUS Long Term Incentive Plan was reviewed, incorporating advice from external consultants. The Committee confirmed key objectives to:

  • $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$ achieve alignment with the long term interest of security holders;
  • ensure Executives are exposed to equity;
  • assist in creating a competitive total remuneration package that encourages the attraction and retention of executives:
  • have performance criteria consistent with DEXUS' long term focus;
  • be simple and transparent; $\ddot{\phantom{0}}$
  • be flexible and long term in nature;
  • be valued and understood by Executives; and
  • be cognisant of contemporary market practice.

The Committee reaffirmed that the design of the plan, including that LTPP allocations are notionally invested in both DEXUS securities and the securities of its unlisted funds, was consistent with the DEXUS business model and long term strategy, although a number of operational enhancements were implemented as follows:

  • eligibility restricted to Executives and senior management team;
  • accelerated vesting on termination was discontinued; and
  • automatic application of the performance multiplier was removed.

Termination provisions

During the year the Committee also reviewed Executive termination arrangements. The Group's previous practice provided for uncapped termination benefits for Executives, related to years of service. The Board has now approved amended arrangements for Executives. These termination arrangements are outlined in Section 7 'Service agreements'.

The Committee anticipates that potential regulatory changes, including the recommendations of the Productivity Commission's review of executive remuneration, could necessitate further changes in the coming year.

Total fixed remuneration

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their TFR as cash, superannuation or salary sacrificed fringe benefits, such as motor vehicles.

There are no guaranteed TFR increases in Executives' contracts of employment. In the 2010 financial year, there will be no TFR increases for Executives.

3. Remuneration Report (continued)

5. Executive remuneration arrangements for the year ended 30 June 2009 (continued)

Performance payments

As outlined under the Executive remuneration structure above. STPP and LTPP allocations are drawn from a single performance pool, with the size of the pool determined according to reasonableness and market competitiveness.

All Executive performance payments were dependent on the achievement of performance against agreed objectives, including performance of their business unit and the overall performance of DEXUS. The Board exercised its discretion regarding the final determination of performance payments and, reflecting DEXUS' performance in 2008/09, performance payments to Executives were scaled down.

As outlined above, a portion of the performance payment for each Executive is delivered as a cash-based payment in September 2009, for performance to 30 June 2009. The remaining portion of the performance payment is allocated to the Long Term Incentive Plan, to be delivered as a cash-based payment in September 2012, for performance to 30 June 2009.

Total return analysis

The table below sets out the DEXUS total security holder return since inception, relative to the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index. It also sets out DEXUS' Composite Total Return since inception, relative to the Composite Performance Benchmark. The DEXUS Composite Total Return is 50 percent of the total return of DEXUS securities, plus 50 percent of the combined asset weighted total return of its unlisted funds and mandates and the Composite Performance Benchmark is 50 percent of the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index and 50 percent of Mercers' Unlisted Property Fund Index.

6. Group performance and the link to remuneration (continued)

Total return of DEXUS securities

The graph below illustrates DEXUS' total security holder return relative to the S&P/ASX 200 Property Accumulation Index.

6 October 2004 to 30 June 2009

DEXUS has outperformed the S&P ASX 200 Property Accumulation index in the most recent year and in each period since inception in October 2004. In addition, the DEXUS Composite Total Return has likewise outperformed the Composite Performance Benchmark in the most recent year and in each period since inception in October 2004.

While the Directors recognise that improvement is always possible, they consider that DEXUS' business model, which aims to deliver consistent returns with relatively moderate risk, has been central to DEXUS' relative out-performance, and that the approach to Executive remuneration, with a focus on consistent out-performance of objectives, is aligned with and supports the superior execution of the DEXUS business model.

7. Service agreements

The employment arrangements for the CEO and other Executives are set out below.

CEO - Victor P Hoog Antink

The current employment contract commenced on 1 October 2004. The principal terms of the employment contract are as follows:

  • the CEO is employed under a rolling contract.
  • the CEO receives fixed remuneration of \$1,300,000 per annum.
  • the CEO may resign from his position and thus terminate this contract by giving six months written notice. On resignation any unvested LTPP will be forfeited subject to the discretion of the Board.
  • the Group may terminate the CEO's employment agreement by providing six months written notice or payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the fixed component of CEO's remuneration). Additionally, the Group may provide a performance payment for the period of the last review date (being 1 July) until the last day of the notice period.
  • in the event that the Group initiates termination for reasons outside the control of the CEO, a severance payment equal to 100% of fixed remuneration is payable.
  • on termination by the Group, any LTPP awards will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule of the Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to the discretion of the Board.
  • the Group may terminate the contract of the CEO at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. In the event of termination for cause the CEO is only entitled to that portion of remuneration that is fixed, and only up to the date of termination. On termination for cause any unvested LTPP awards will immediately be forfeited.

Executives (other than the CEO)

The principal terms of Executive employment contracts are as follows:

  • all Executives have rolling contracts.
  • the Group may terminate an Executive's employment agreement by providing three months written notice or providing payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the fixed component of the Executive's remuneration). In the event that the Group initiates the termination for reasons outside the control of the Executive, a severance payment equal to a maximum of 75% of fixed remuneration will be made.
  • on termination by the Group, any LTPP awards will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule of the Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to the discretion of the Board.
  • the Group may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Where termination for cause occurs the Executive is only entitled to that portion of remuneration that is fixed, and only up to the date of termination. On termination for cause any unvested LTPP awards will immediately be forfeited.

4. Directors' interests

The Board's policy on insider trading and trading in DXS securities or securities in any of the funds managed by DEXUS by any Director or employee is outlined in the Corporate Governance Statement.

While the trading policy described in the Corporate Governance Statement applies to Directors and Senior Executives, the Board has determined that Directors will not trade in any security managed by DEXUS.

Directors have made this decision because the Board of DXFM has responsibility for the DEXUS Property Group itself as well as the third party business. Directors are obliged to act in the best interests of each group of investor's independently of each other. Therefore, to minimise the appearance of conflict that may arise by being a Director of multiple funds, the Directors have determined that they will not invest in any fund managed by DEXUS including DXS. This position is periodically reviewed by the Board.

As a direct result of DEXUS' policy regarding Directors holding DXS securities, or securities in any of the funds managed by DEXUS, as at the date of this Directors' Report no Director or alternate Director directly or indirectly held:

  • DXS securities; or
  • options over, or any other contractual interest in, DXS securities; or
  • an interest in any other fund managed by DXFM or any other entity that forms part of DEXUS Property Group.

5. Directors' directorships in other listed entities

The following table sets out directorships of other listed entities, not including DXFM, held by the Directors at any time in the three years immediately prior to the end of the year, and the period for which each directorship was held:

17. Audit

17.1 Auditor

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC or the Auditor) continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

17.2 Non-audit services

The Trusts may decide to employ the Auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the Auditors expertise and experience with the Trusts and/or DEXUS Property Group are important.

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the Auditor, for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 6 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

The Board Audit Committee is 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 standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The reasons for the Directors being satisfied are:

  • Board Audit Committee has determined that the Auditor will not provide services that have the potential to impair the independence of its audit role, including:
  • participating in activities that are normally undertaken by management; and
  • being remunerated on a "success fee" basis.
  • Board Audit Committee has determined that the Auditor will not provide services where the Auditor may be required to review or audit its own work, including:
  • 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 Auditor and whether the independence of this function has been maintained having regard to the provision of non-audit services. The Auditor has provided a written declaration to the Board regarding its independence at each reporting period and Board Audit Committee approval is required before the engagement of the Auditor to perform any non-audit service for a fee in excess of \$100,000.

The above Directors' statements are in accordance with the advice received from the Board Audit Committee.

17.3 Auditor's independence declaration

A copy of the Auditor's Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out in the Financial Statements and forms part of this Directors' Report.

18. Corporate governance

DXFM's Corporate Governance Statement is set out in a separate section of this Annual Report.

19. Rounding of amounts and currency

The DEXUS Property Group is a registered scheme of the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the "rounding off" of amounts in this Directors' Report and the Financial Statements. Amounts in this Directors' Report and Financial Statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. All figures in this Directors' Report and the Financial Statements, except where otherwise stated, are expressed in Australian dollars.

20. Management representation

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed the Trust's Financial Reporting processes, policies and procedures together with its risk management, 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.

21. Directors' authorisation

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

In accordance with AASB Interpretation 1002: Post-Date-of-Transition Stapling Arrangements, the entities within DXS must be consolidated. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of DIT, DOT and DXO is DDF. The DDF consolidated column represents the consolidated result of DDF, which comprises DDF and its controlled entities, DIT and its controlled entities, DOT and its controlled entities, DXO and its controlled entities. Equity attributable to other trusts stapled to DDF is a form of minority interest in accordance with AASB 1002 and, in the DDF consolidated column, represents the equity of DIT, DOT and DXO. Other minority interests represent the equity attributable to parties external to the Trusts.

DEXUS Property Group stapled securities are quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code "DXS" and comprise one unit in each of DDF, DIT, DOT and DXO. Each entity forming part of DXS 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.

DEXUS Funds Management Limited (DXFM) as Responsible Entity for each of the Trusts may only un-staple the Trusts if approval is obtained by special resolution of the stapled security holders.

This general purpose Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2009 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Trusts' Constitutions, the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) and Interpretations. Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated and parent Financial Statements and Notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

This Financial Report is prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with 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 valuation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments (refer Notes 1(e), 1(n), 1(p), and $1(v)$ ).

As at 30 June 2009, DXS had a current net asset deficiency of \$607.9 million. This Financial Report is prepared on a going concern basis as DXS has sufficient working capital and cash flow due to the existence of unutilised facilities of \$1,450.4 million as set out in Note 21.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with AIFRS may require the use of certain critical accounting estimates and management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trusts' accounting policies. Other than the estimations described in Notes 1(e), 1(n), 1(p), and 1(v), 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.

Uncertainty around property valuations

The global market for many types of real estate has been severely affected by the recent volatility in global financial markets. The lower levels of liquidity and volatility in the banking sector have translated into a general weakening of market sentiment towards real estate and the number of real estate transactions has significantly reduced.

Fair value of investment property is the price at which the property could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. A "willing seller" is not a forced seller prepared to sell at any price. The best evidence of fair value is given by current prices in an active market for similar property in the same location and condition.

The current lack of comparable market evidence relating to pricing assumptions and market drivers means that there is less certainty in regard to valuations and the assumptions applied to valuation inputs. The period of time needed to negotiate a sale in this environment may also be significantly prolonged.

The fair value of investment property has been adjusted to reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period. While this represents the best estimates of fair value as at the balance sheet date, the current market uncertainty means that if investment property is sold in future the price achieved may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation, or higher or lower than the fair value recorded in the Financial Statements.

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) 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 traded separately, the Financial Statements must be presented on a consolidated basis. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the Trusts is DDF. 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 is attributable to the unitholdings of minority interests, are shown separately in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet respectively. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the Income Statement from the date on which control is gained. The Financial Statements incorporate all the assets, liabilities and results of the parent and its controlled entities.

(ii) Partnerships and joint ventures

Where assets are held in a partnership or joint venture with another entity directly, the Trusts' share of the results and assets of this partnership or joint venture are consolidated into the Income Statements and Balance Sheets of the Trusts. Where assets are jointly controlled via ownership of units in single purpose unlisted unit trusts or shares in companies, the Trusts apply equity accounting to record the operations of these investments (refer Note 1(s)).

(c) Revenue recognition

(i) 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 accruals 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. Debts which are known to be not collectable are written off.

(ii) Management fee revenue

Management fees are brought to account on an accruals basis, and if not received at the balance date, are reflected in the Balance Sheets as a receivable.

(iii) Interest revenue

Interest income is brought to account on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at balance date, is reflected in the Balance Sheets as a receivable.

(iv) Dividends and distribution income

Income from dividends and distributions are recognised when declared. Amounts not received at balance date are included as a receivable in the Balance Sheets.

(d) Expenses

Expenses are brought to account on an accruals basis and, if not paid at balance date, are reflected in the Balance Sheets as a payable.

(i) Property expenses

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

(ii) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation or ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and foreign exchange losses net of hedged amounts on borrowings, including trade creditors and lease finance charges. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets.

Qualifying assets are assets which take more than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the cost of the asset during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Derivatives and other financial instruments

(i) Derivatives

The Trusts' activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. Accordingly, the Trust enters into various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to certain risks. Written policies and limits are approved by the Board of Directors of the Responsible Entity, in relation to the use of financial instruments to manage financial risks. The Responsible Entity continually reviews the Trusts' exposures and updates its treasury policies and procedures. The Trust does not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Even though derivative financial instruments are entered into for the purpose of providing the Trust with an economic hedge, the Trusts' have elected not to apply hedge accounting under AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. Accordingly, derivatives including interest rate swaps, interest rate component of cross currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts, are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognised 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 Trusts

Financial instruments issued by the Trusts 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 DXO are classified as equity.

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) Financial quarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate.

The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in the net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations. Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

(v) Other financial assets

Loans and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment.

(f) Goods and services tax/value added tax

Revenues, expenses and capital assets are recognised net of any amount of Australian/New Zealand/Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST) or French and German Value Added Tax (VAT), except where the amount of GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable. In these circumstances the GST/VAT 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 Statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from or payable to the Australian Taxation Office is classified as operating cash flows.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(g) Taxation

Under current Australian income tax legislation DDF, DIT and DOT, are not liable for income tax provided they satisfy certain legislative requirements. These Trusts may be liable for income tax in jurisdictions where foreign property is held (i.e United States, France, Germany, Canada, New Zealand).

DXO is a trading trust and is subject to Australian income 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% adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses;
  • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities 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. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability (where they do not arise as a result of a business combination and did not affect either accounting profit/loss or taxable profit/loss);
  • Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary 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 distributions received by the Trusts from DEXUS Industrial Properties Inc (US REIT) and DEXUS US Properties Inc (US REIT II) are recognised as an expense when tax is withheld.

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 Trusts (held by US REIT and US REIT II) 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 distributions paid by the US REIT and US REIT II.

DIT France Logistique SAS (DIT France), a wholly owned sub-trust of DIT, is liable for French corporation tax on its taxable income at the rate of 34.43%. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the French real estate assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.

DEXUS GLOG Trust, a wholly owned Australian sub-trust of DIT, is liable for German income tax on its German taxable income at the rate of 15.82% from 1 January 2008 (this rate was 26.37% prior to 1 January 2008). In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the German real estate assets and their accounting carrying value at balance date.

DOT NZ Sub-Trust No. 1, a wholly owned Australian sub-trust of DOT, is liable for New Zealand corporate tax on its New Zealand taxable income at the rate of 30%. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the New Zealand real estate asset and the accounting carrying value at balance date.

DEXUS Canada Trust, a wholly owned Australian sub-trust of DIT, is liable for Canadian income tax on its Canadian taxable income at the rate of 25%. In addition, a deferred tax liability or asset and its related deferred tax expense/benefit is recognised on differences between the tax cost base of the Canadian real estate asset and the accounting carrying value at balance date.

(g) Taxation (continued)

Tax consolidation

DXH is the head entity in the DXH tax consolidated group comprising DEXUS Funds Management Limited, DEXUS Property Services Pty Limited, DEXUS Financial Services Pty Limited and DEXUS Wholesale Property Limited. The implementation date for the tax consolidated group was 1 October 2004. During the year DEXUS CMBS Issuer Pty Limited was formed and joined the tax consolidated group. The entities within the DXH tax consolidated group entered into a Tax Sharing Deed and Tax Funding Deed on 29 June 2007 (effective 1 July 2006).

During the year, newly incorporated entities, DEXUS Finance No.2 Pty Limited and DEXUS Finance No.3 Pty Limited together with DEXUS Finance Pty Limited (DXF) formed the DXF tax consolidated group on 18 December 2008. DXF is the head entity of this tax consolidated group. The entities in the DXF tax consolidated group entered into a Tax Sharing Deed and Tax Funding Deed on 29 June 2009 (effective 18 December 2008).

In the opinion of the directors, the Tax Sharing Deeds limit the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity.

For each of the consolidated tax groups, the head entity and the controlled entities continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These notional tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right pursuant to the Tax Funding Deed.

Under the Tax Funding Deed, the wholly owned entities fully compensate the head entity for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by the head entity for any current tax receivable. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly owned entities' Financial Statements and are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.

(h) Distributions

In accordance with the Trusts' Constitutions, the Trusts distribute their distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvestment. Distributions are provided for when they are approved by the Board of Directors and 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.

(j) 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.

(k) Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, 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 uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Trusts will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

(I) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(m) Other financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Interests held by the Trust in controlled entities and associates are measured at fair value through profit and loss to reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency.

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Property under development is carried at historical cost until the development is complete. All costs of development are capitalised against the property and are not depreciated. Upon completion of development, the assets are classified as investment property.

All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to its acquisition. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Trusts and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Income Statements during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Property under development and all other property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts (refer Note 1 (u)).

(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. Estimates for remaining useful lives are reviewed on a regular basis for all assets and are as follows:

Buildings (including fit-out) 5-50 years IT equipment 3-5 years

(p) Investment properties

Investment properties consist of properties held for long-term rental yields, 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. Each valuation firm and its signatory valuer are appointed on the basis that they are engaged for no more than three consecutive valuations.

The basis of valuations of investment properties is fair value being the amounts 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 location and condition and subject to similar leases. In addition, an appropriate valuation method is used, which may include the discounted cashflow and the capitalisation method. Discount rates and capitalisation rates are determined based on industry expertise and knowledge, 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 outflows 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 in accordance with 1(i).

(q) Leasing fees

Leasing fees incurred are capitalised and amortised over the lease periods to which they relate.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(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 purpose unlisted trusts or shares in unlisted companies where the Trusts exert significant influence but does not have a controlling interest. These investments are considered to be associates and the equity method of accounting is applied in the consolidated Financial Statements.

Under this method, the entity's share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised in the consolidated Income Statement. The cumulative 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 Statement, while in the consolidated Financial Statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Trusts' share of losses in an associate equal or exceed its interest in the associate (including any unsecured receivables) the Trusts do not recognise any further losses unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate

(t) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. 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 provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Trusts' share of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer Note 1(v)). If the cost is less than the fair value of the Trusts' share of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Income Statements.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange at the entity's incremental financing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparative terms and conditions.

(u) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(v) Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

As part of a business combination, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair value. 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 Statement as an expense.

(ii) Management rights

Management rights represent the asset management rights owned by the Trust which entitle it to management fee revenue from both finite and indefinite life trusts. Those rights that are deemed to have a finite useful life, are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which vary from six to 22 years.

(w) Financial assets and liabilities

(i) Classification

DXS has classified its financial assets and liabilities as follows:

Financial Asset/Liability Classification Valuation Basis Reference
Cash and cash equivalents Fair value through profit or loss Fair value Refer note 1(i).
Receivables Loans and receivables Amortised cost Refer note 1(k).
Other financial assets Loans and receivables Amortised cost Refer note 1(e).
Other financial assets Fair value through profit or loss Fair value Refer note 1(m).
Pavables Financial liability at amortised cost Amortised cost Refer note $1(x)$ .
Interest bearing liabilities Financial liability at amortised cost Amortised cost Refer note $1(y)$ .
Derivatives Fair value through profit or loss Fair value Refer note 1(e).

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in accordance with the purpose for which they were acquired.

(ii) 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 purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Trusts 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 and cross currency swaps are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, the fair value of forward exchange rate contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date, and the fair value of interest rate option contracts are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows taking into account the time value and implied volatility of the underlying instrument.

(x) Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for amounts owing at balance date. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(y) Interest bearing liabilities

Subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, interest bearing liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Income Statements over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Interest bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Trust has an unconditional right to defer the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(z) Employee benefits

(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to reporting date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Trusts expect to pay at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation, insurance and payroll tax.

(ii) Long service leave

The provision for employee benefits for long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows, to be made resulting from employees' services provided to reporting date.

The provision is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on turnover history and is discounted using the rates attaching to national government bonds at reporting date which most closely match the term of the maturity of the related liabilities. The unwinding of the discount is treated as long service leave expense.

(aa) Earnings per unit

Earnings per unit are determined by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent entity by the weighted average number of ordinary units outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in units issued during the year.

(ab) Foreign currency

Items included in the Financial Statements of the Trust 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 functional and presentation currency of the Trust.

(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 financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statements.

(ii) Foreign operations

Foreign operations are located in the United States, New Zealand, France, Germany and Canada. These operations have a functional currency of US Dollars, NZ Dollars, Euros and Canadian Dollars respectively, which are translated into the presentation currency.

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. 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 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.

(ac) 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 environments.

(ad) Rounding of amounts

The Trusts are 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.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(ae) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2009 reporting period. Our assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

  • AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from $(i)$ AASB 8 are effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. AASB 8 will result in a significant change in the approach to segment reporting, as it requires adoption of a "management approach" to reporting on financial performance. The information being reported will be based on what the key decision-makers use internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments. The Trusts intend to apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009. Application of AASB 8 may result in different segments, segment results and different type of information being reported in the segment note of the financial report. However, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.
  • $(ii)$ Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 2007-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101. The revised AASB 101 that was issued in September 2007 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. It requires the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and makes changes to the Statements of Changes in Equity but will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or a reclassification of items in the Financial Statements, it will also need to disclose a third balance sheet (Statement of Financial Position), this one being as at the beginning of the comparative period. The Trusts intend to apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009.
  • $(iii)$ Revised AASB 123 Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 & AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 & 12]. The revised AASB 123 is applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. It has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and - when adopted - will require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. There will be no impact on the Financial Report of the Trusts, as the Trusts already capitalise borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets.
  • Revised AASB 3 Business Combinations, AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and AASB $(iv)$ 2008-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127. Revised accounting standards for business combinations and Consolidated Financial Statements were issued in March 2008 and are operative for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009, but may apply earlier. The Trusts will apply the revised standards from 1 July 2009. However, the new rules generally apply only prospectively to transactions that occur after the application date of the standard. Their impact will therefore depend on whether the Trusts will enter into any business combinations or other transactions that affect the level of ownership held in the controlled entities in the year of initial application.

The revised AASB 3 continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, but with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently remeasured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. All acquisition-related costs must be expensed. This is different to the Trusts' current policy which is set out in note 1(t) above. For example, under the new rules:

The revised AASB 127 requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

  • $(v)$ AASB 2008-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate (effective 1 July 2009). In July 2008, the AASB approved amendments to AASB 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and AABS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The Trusts will apply the revised rules prospectively from 1 July 2009. After that date, all dividends received from investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates will be recognised as revenue, even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits, but the investments may need to be tested for impairment as a result of the dividend payment. Under the entity's current policy, these dividends are deducted from the cost of the investment. Furthermore, when a new intermediate parent entity is created in internal reorganisations it will measure its investment in subsidiaries at the carrying amounts of the net assets of the subsidiary rather than the subsidiary's fair value.
  • $(vi)$ AASB 2008-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project In July 2008, AASB 2008-5 was issued comprising amendments to various standards arising from the annual improvements project. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The following amendments are considered relevant to the Trusts:

AASB 101 (Amendment) Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendment clarifies that some rather than all financial assets and liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are examples of current assets and liabilities respectively. The Trusts will apply the AASB 139 (Amendment) from 1 July 2009. This clarification will enable the Trusts to distinguish between current and non current derivative balances.

AASB 119 (Amendment) Employee Benefits (effective from 1 January 2009)

The amendments relevant to the Trusts includes

. The distinction between short-term and long-term employee benefits will be based on whether benefits are due to be settled within or after 12 months of employee service being rendered.

• AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets requires contingent liabilities to be disclosed, not recognised. AASB 119 has been amended to be consistent.

The Trusts will apply the AASB 119 (Amendment) from 1 July 2009. There will be no impact on the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.

AASB 123 (Amendment) Borrowing Costs

The definition of borrowing costs has been amended so that interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method defined in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This eliminates the inconsistency of terms between AASB 139 and AASB 123. The Trusts will apply the AASB 123 (Amendment) prospectively to the capitalisation of borrowing costs on qualifying assets from 1 July 2009. This is not expected to have any impact on the amounts recognised in the entity's Financial Statements.

AASB 127 (Amendment) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective from 1 January 2009)

Where an investment in a subsidiary that is accounted for under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement is classified as held for sale under AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, AASB 139 would continue to be applied. The amendment will not have an impact on the Trusts' operations because it is the Trusts' policy for an investment in subsidiary to be recorded at fair value through profit or loss in the standalone accounts of each entity.

AASB 128 (Amendment) Investments in Associates (and consequential amendments to AASB 132 Financial

Instruments: Presentation and AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures) (effective from 1 January 2009) An investment in associate is treated as a single asset for the purposes of impairment testing and any impairment loss is not allocated to specific assets included within the investment, for example, goodwill. Reversals of impairment are recorded as an adjustment to the investment balance to the extent that the recoverable amount of the associate increases. The Trusts will apply the AASB 128 (Amendment) to impairment tests related to investment in associates and any related impairment losses from 1 July 2009. Due to the prospective application this will not affect any of the amounts recognised at 30 June 2009.

AASB 131 (Amendment) Interests in Joint Ventures (and consequential amendments to AASB 132 and AASB 7) (effective from 1 January 2009)

Where an investment in a joint venture is accounted for in accordance with AASB 139, only certain, rather than all, disclosure requirements in AASB 131 need to be made in addition to disclosures required by AASB 132 and AASB 7. This amendment will not have an impact on the Trusts' operations.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(ae) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

AASB 136 (Amendment) Impairment of Assets

Where fair value less costs to sell is calculated on the basis of discounted cash flows, disclosures equivalent to those for a value-in-use calculation should be made. The Trusts will apply the AASB 136 (Amendment) and provide the required disclosure where applicable for impairment tests from 1 July 2009. This is not expected to have an impact on the amounts recognised in the Trusts' Financial Statements.

AASB 138 (Amendment) Intangible Assets (effective from 1 January 2009)

A prepayment may only be recognised in the event that payment has been made in advance of obtaining a right of access to goods or a receipt of services. Therefore to the extent that the expenditure is incurred to provide future economic benefits to an entity, but no intangible asset or other asset is acquired or created that can be recognised, the entity recognises such expenditure as an expense when it has a right to access the goods or when it receives the services. The Trusts will apply the AASB 138 (Amendment) from 1 July 2009, however this is not expected to have an impact on the amounts recognised in the Trusts' Financial Statements.

AASB 140 (Amendment) Investment Property (and consequential amendments to AASB 116)

Under this amendment, property that is under construction or development for future use as investment property falls within the scope of AASB 140. Where the fair value model is applied, such property is, therefore, measured at fair value. However, where fair value of investment property under construction is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until the earlier of the date construction is completed and the date at which fair value becomes reliably measurable. The Trusts will apply the AASB 140 (Amendment) from 1 July 2009.

AASB 2008-6 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (effective 1 July 2009). The amendments to AASB 5 Discontinued Operations and AASB 1 First-Time Adoption of Australian-Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards are part of the IASB's annual improvements project published in May 2008. They clarify that all of a subsidiary's assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale plan results in loss of control. Relevant disclosures should be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued operation is met. The Trusts will apply the amendments prospectively to all partial disposals of subsidiaries from 1 July 2009.

AASB 2009-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Improving Disclosures about Financial $(vii)$ Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009) In April 2009, the AASB published amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure to improve the information that entities report about their liquidity risk and the fair value of their financial instruments. The amendments require fair value measurement disclosures to be classified into a new three-level hierarchy and additional disclosures for items whose fair value is determined by valuation techniques rather than observable market values. The AASB also clarified and enhanced the existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk of derivatives. The Trusts will apply the amendments from 1 January 2009. They will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.

$(viii)$ AASB 2009-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Embedded Derivatives (effective for annual periods ending on or after 30 June 2009) The amendments made by the AASB to Interpretation 9 and AASB 139 clarify that where a financial asset is reclassified out of the 'at fair value through profit or loss' category, all derivatives embedded in that asset have to be assessed and, if necessary, separately accounted for in financial statements. The Trusts will apply the amendments retrospectively for the financial half year ending 31 December 2009. There will be no impact on the Trusts' financial statements as at 31 December 2009 as it has not reclassified any financial assets out of the 'at fair value through profit or loss' category.

Valuation basis

The basis of valuation of investment properties is fair value, being the amounts 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 location and condition and subject to similar leases. Properties independently valued in the last 12 months were based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute, the New Zealand Institute of Valuers, the Appraisal Institute in the United States of America, the French Real Estate Valuation Institution, the Society of Property Researchers, Germany or the Appraisal Institute in Canada.

Key valuation assumptions

The below table illustrates the key valuation assumptions used in the determination of the investment properties fair value.

Management rights represent the asset management rights owned by DXH which entitle it to management fee revenue from both finite life trusts (\$9,223,164) and indefinite life trusts (\$201,276,836). Those rights that are deemed to have a finite useful life are measured at cost and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which vary from six to 22 years.

Impairment of Management Rights

During the period, DXS carried out a review of the recoverable amount of its intangible assets resulting in the recognition through the Income Statement of an impairment loss of \$41.1 million in relation to management rights.

The value in use has been determined using management forecasts in a 5 year discounted cash flow model. Forecasts were based on projected returns of the business in light of current market conditions. The performance in year 5 has been used as a terminal value. The cash flows have been discounted at 8.2%.

Note 30. Financial Risk Management

To ensure the effective and prudent management of the Trusts' capital and financial risks, DXS has a well established framework consisting of a Board Finance Committee and a Capital Markets Committee. The Board Finance Committee is accountable to and primarily acts as an advisory body to the DXFM Board and includes three Directors of the DXFM Board. Its responsibilities include reviewing and recommending financial risk management polices and funding strategies for approval.

The Capital Markets Committee is a management committee that is accountable to both the Board Finance Committee and the Executive Committee. It convenes at least quarterly and conducts a review of financial risk management exposures including liquidity, funding strategies and hedging. It is also responsible for the development of financial risk management policies and funding strategies for recommendation to the Board Finance Committee, and the approval of treasury transactions within delegated limits and powers.

Further information on the Trusts' governance structure, including terms of reference, is available at www.dexus.com

(1) Capital risk management

The Trust manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Trust will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Trust consists of debt (see Note 21), cash and cash equivalents, and equity attributable to security holders (including hybrid securities). The capital structure is monitored and managed in consideration of a range of factors includina:

  • the cost of capital and the financial risks associated with each class of capital;
  • gearing levels and other covenants;
  • potential impacts on net tangible assets and security holder's equity;
  • potential impacts on the Trust's credit rating; and
  • other market factors and circumstances.

To minimise the potential impacts of foreign exchange risk on the Trust's capital structure, the Trust's policy is to hedge the majority of its foreign asset and liability exposures. Consequently the size of the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet (translated into Australian Dollars) and gearing ratios will rise and fall as exchange rates fluctuate. This policy ensures that net tangible assets are not materially affected by currency movements (refer foreign exchange risk below)

The Trust has a stated target gearing level of below 40% (2008: stated target gearing range was 40% to 45%). The gearing ratio calculated in accordance with our covenant requirements at 30 June 2009 was 32.0% (as detailed below).

The Trust is rated BBB+ by Standard and Poor's (affirmed in April 2009). The Trust considers potential impacts upon the rating when assessing the strategy and activities of the Trust and regards those impacts as an important consideration in its management of the Trust's capital structure.

DXFM is the Responsible Entity for the managed investment schemes that are stapled to form the Trust. DXFM has been issued with an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). The licence is subject to certain capital requirements including the requirement to hold minimum net tangible assets (of \$5 million), and maintaining a minimum level of surplus liquid funds. Furthermore, the Responsible Entity maintains trigger points in accordance with the requirements of the licence. These trigger points maintain a headroom value above the AFSL requirements and the entity has in place a number of processes and procedures should a trigger point be reached.

Note 30. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(1) Capital risk management (continued)

DWPL, a wholly owned entity, has also been issued with an AFSL as it is the Responsible Entity for DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund. It is subject to the same requirements.

During the period, both the Responsible Entities complied with the AFSL requirements.

(2) Financial risk management

The Trust's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), and liquidity risk. The Trust's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Trust.

Accordingly, the Trust enters into various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps, and foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to certain risks. The Trust does not trade in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Trust uses different methods to measure the different types of risks to which it is exposed, including monitoring the current and forecast levels of exposure, and conducting sensitivity analyses.

Risk management is implemented by a centralised treasury department (Group Treasury) whose members act under written policies that are endorsed by the Board Finance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Responsible Entity. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Trust's business units. The treasury policies approved by the Board of Directors cover overall treasury risk management, as well as policies and limits covering specific areas such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and the use of derivatives and other financial instruments. In conjunction with its advisers, the Responsible Entity continually reviews the Trust's exposures and (at least annually) updates its treasury policies and procedures.

(a) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will not have sufficient available funds to meet financial obligations in an orderly manner when they fall due or at an acceptable cost.

The Trust identifies and manages liquidity risk across short, medium and long-term categories:

  • Short-term liquidity management includes continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows;
  • Medium-term liquidity management includes maintaining a level of committed borrowing facilities above the forecast committed debt requirements (liquidity headroom buffer). Committed debt includes future expenditure that has been approved by the Board or Investment Committee (as required within delegated limits), and may also include projects that have a very high probability of proceeding, taking into consideration risk factors such as the level of regulatory approval, tenant pre-commitments and portfolio considerations; and
  • Long-term liquidity risk is managed through ensuring an adequate spread of maturities of borrowing facilities so that refinancing risk is not concentrated, and ensuring an adequate diversification of funding sources where possible subject to market conditions.

Refinancing risk

A key liquidity risk is the Trust's ability to refinance its current debt facilities. As the Trust's debt facilities mature, they are usually required to be refinanced by extending the facility or replacing the facility with an alternative form of capital.

The refinancing of existing facilities may also result in margin price risk, whereby market conditions may result in an unfavourable change in credit margins on the refinanced facilities. The Trust's key risk management strategy for margin price risk on refinancing is to spread the maturities of debt facilities over different time periods to reduce the volume of facilities to be refinanced and the exposure to market conditions in any one period.

An analysis of the contractual maturities of the Trust's interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments are shown in the table below. The amounts in the table represent undiscounted cash flows.

Note 30, Financial Risk Management (continued)

(2) Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Trust's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The market risks that the Trust is exposed to are detailed further below.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuating interest rates will cause an adverse impact on interest payable (or receivable), or an adverse change on the capital value (present market value) of long-term fixed rate instruments.

Interest rate risk for the Trust arises from interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the Trust holds. 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.

The primary objective of the Trust's risk management policy for interest rate risk is to minimise the effects of interest rate movements on the Trust's portfolio of financial assets and liabilities and financial performance. The policy sets out the minimum and maximum hedging amounts for the Trust which is managed on a portfolio basis.

Cash flow interest rate risk on borrowings is managed through the use of interest rate swaps, whereby a floating interest rate exposure is converted to a fixed interest rate exposure. Fair value interest rate risk on borrowings is also managed through the use of interest rate swaps, whereby a fixed interest exposure is converted to a floating interest rate exposure. The mix of fixed and floating rate exposures is monitored regularly to ensure that the interest rate exposure on the Trust's cash flows is managed within the parameters defined by the Group Treasury Policy.

As at 30 June 2009, 92% (2008: 85%) of the financial assets and liabilities (including DEXUS RENTS Trust) of the Trust have an effective fixed interest rate.

The Trust holds borrowings in multiple currencies with both fixed and floating rate exposures and is exposed to interest rate risk related to each particular currency.

The net notional amount of fixed rate debt and interest rate swaps in place in each year and the weighted average effective hedge rate per currency is set out in the next table.

Sensitivity on interest expense

The table below shows the impact on unhedged net interest expense (excluding non-cash items) of a 50 basis points increase or decrease in short-term and long-term market interest rates. The sensitivity on cash flow arises due to the impact that a change in interest rates will have on the Trust's floating rate debt and derivative cash flows. Net interest expense is only sensitive to movements in markets rates to the extent that floating rate debt is not hedged.

The increase or decrease in interest expense is proportional to the increase or decrease in interest rates.

Sensitivity on fair value of interest rate swaps

The table below shows the impact on the income Statements for changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps for a 50 basis points increase and decrease in short-term and long-term market interest rates. The sensitivity on the fair value arises from the impact that changes in market rates will have on the mark-to-market valuation of the interest rate swaps. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows on the instruments. Cash flows are discounted using the forward price curve of interest rates at the end of the reporting period. Although interest rate swaps are transacted for the purpose of providing the Trust with an economic hedge, the Trust has elected not to apply hedge accounting to its interest rate derivatives. Accordingly, gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are reflected in the Income Statement.

(ii) 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's functional currency will have an adverse effect on the Trust.

The Trust operates internationally with investments in the United States, New Zealand, France, Germany and Canada. As a result of these activities, the Trust has foreign exchange risk, arising primarily from:

  • Translation of investments in foreign operations;
  • Borrowings and cross currency swaps denominated in foreign currencies; and
  • Earnings distributions and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

(2) Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Market risk (continued)

The objective of the Trust's foreign exchange risk management policy is to ensure that movements in exchange rates have minimal adverse impact on the Trust's foreign currency assets and liabilities, and net foreign currency cash flows as outlined below.

Foreign currency assets and liabilities

Exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimised by predominantly matching the currency of the Trust's debt with the currency of its investment to form a natural hedge against movements in exchange rates. This policy reduces the risk that movements in foreign exchange rates will have an adverse impact on security holder's equity and net tangible assets.

Where Australian dollar borrowings are used to fund the foreign currency investment, the Trust may transact cross currency swaps for the purpose of providing an alternate source of foreign currency funding whilst maintaining the natural hedge. In these instances the Trust has committed foreign currency borrowing capacity in place that can replace the foreign currency amounts that are due under the cross currency swaps.

The Trust's net foreign currency exposures for net investments in foreign operations and hedging instruments are as follows:

Sensitivity on equity (foreign currency translation reserve)

The table below shows the impact on the foreign currency translation reserve for changes in the translated value of foreign currency assets and liabilities for an increase and decrease in foreign exchange rates per currency. The increase and decrease in cents per currency has been based on the historical movements of the Australian dollar relative to each currency1. The cents per currency has been applied to the spot rates prevailing at 30 June 2009 (see footnote below). The impact on the foreign currency translation reserve arises as the translation of the Trust's foreign currency assets and liabilities are recorded (in Australian Dollars) directly in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Sensitivity on fair value of cross currency swaps

The table below shows the impact on the Income Statements for changes in the fair value of cross currency swaps for a 50 basis point increase and decrease in market rates. The sensitivity on the fair value arises from the impact that changes in shortterm and long-term market rates will have on the interest rate mark-to-market valuation of the cross currency swaps.1 The Trust has elected not to apply hedge accounting to its cross currency swaps. Accordingly, gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are reflected in the Income Statements.

(iii) Price risk

The Trust is exposed to equity securities price risk from equity securities and derivative financial instruments that the Trust transacts. Equity securities price risk is subject to a number of risks. The key risk variable is the quoted market price of equity securities which are affected by a number of factors largely out of the control of the Trust. The Trust does not use financial instruments to hedge the price risk.

As at 30 June 2009, the Trust does not have a material exposure to price risk.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss to the Trust in the event of non-performance by the Trust's financial instrument counterparties. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, loans and receivables, and derivative financial instruments. The Trust and parent entity have exposure to credit risk on all financial assets.

The Trust manages this risk by:

  • adopting a process for determining an approved counterparty, with consideration of qualitative factors as well as the counterparty's rating:
  • regularly monitoring counterparty exposure within approved credit limits that are based on the lower of a S&P, Moody's and Fitch credit rating. The exposure includes the current market value of in-the-money contracts as well as potential exposure, which is measured with reference to credit conversion factors as per APRA quidelines:
  • entering into ISDA Master Agreements once a financial institution counterparty is approved;
  • ensuring tenants, together with approved credit limits, are approved and ensuring that leases are undertaken with a $\mathbf{r}$ large number of tenants;
  • for some trade receivables, obtaining collateral where necessary in the form of bank guarantees and tenant bonds; and
  • regularly monitoring loans and receivables on an ongoing basis.

A minimum S&P rating of A- (or Moody's or Fitch equivalent) is required to become or remain an approved counterparty. As at 30 June 2009, the lowest rating of counterparties the Trust is exposed to was A (S&P).

Note 30. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(2) Financial risk management (continued)

(c) Credit risk (continued)

Financial instrument transactions are spread among a number of approved financial institutions within specified credit limits to minimise the Trust's exposure to any one counterparty. As a result, there is no significant concentration of credit risk for financial instruments.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at 30 June 2009 is the carrying amount of financial assets recognised on the Balance Sheets of the Trust and parent entity.

As at 30 June 2009, the Trust and the parent have no significant concentrations of credit risk for trade receivables. Trade receivable balances and the credit quality of trade debtors are consistently monitored on an ongoing basis. As a result, the Trust and parent entity's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

For the consolidated entity, the ageing analysis of loans and receivables net of provisions at 30 June 2009 is (\$'000): 31,479.1 (0-30 days), 1,897.2 (31-60 days), 979.5 (61-90 days), 1,460.4 (91+ days). The ageing analysis of loans and receivables net of provisions at 30 June 2008 is (\$'000): 32,014.9 (0-30 days), 1,313.1 (31-60 days), 702.6 (61-90 days), 2,456.4 (91+ days)). Amounts over 31 days are past due, however, no receivables are impaired.

For the parent entity, the ageing analysis for loans and receivables net of provisions at 30 June 2009 is (\$'000): 17,343.9 (0-30 days), 39.2 (31-60 days), 25.1 (61-90 days), 344.0 (91+ days). The ageing analysis of loans and receivables net of provisions for the parent entity at 30 June 2008 is (\$'000): 8,124.3 (0-30 days), 123.7 (31-60 days), 37.6 (61-90 days), 133.4 (91+ days). Amounts over 31 days are past due, however, no receivables are impaired.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired is consistently monitored to ensure that there are no adverse changes in credit quality.

Note 34. Business Combinations

(a) Summary of acquisition

There were no transactions or events resulting in a business combination in the current period to 30 June 2009.

During the prior period, on 21 February 2008, DXO acquired the remaining 50% interest in DXH. Prior to this acquisition DXO held a 50% share in DXH and accounted for DXH on an equity accounting basis. The acquisition of the remaining 50% has resulted in DXO effectively controlling DXH and thus this acquisition was accounted for as a 'business combination achieved in stages' as described in AASB 3 Business Combinations. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of \$2.998 million.

The acquired business contributed revenues of \$37.428 million and net profit of \$2.278 million to the Trusts for the period from 21 February 2008 to 30 June 2008. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2007, consolidated revenue and consolidated profit for the year ended 30 June 2008 would have been \$943.197 million and \$441.169 million respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the Trusts' accounting policies.

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of DEXUS Diversified Trust (the Trust), which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for both DEXUS Diversified Trust and the DEXUS Diversified Trust Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the Trust and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of DEXUS Funds Management Limited, as responsible entity of the Trust, are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

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

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

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

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

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