DB RREEF Trust (ASX:DRT) Interim results to 31 December 2004

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited (DRFM), as responsible entity of DRT, announces today the distribution for DB RREEF Trust (DRT) for the interim period to 31 December 2004 is \$136.5m. This represents 5.20 cents per stapled security, with approximately 40% tax advantaged. DRT remains on target to achieve a full year distribution of 10.50 cents per security, as outlined in the Explanatory Memorandum (EM).

At the earnings per stapled security level, the actual results for the initial period are ahead of the EM forecasts, demonstrating the strong underlying performance across the combined \$6.3bn domestic and USA property portfolios.

Earnings on a grouped accounting basis for the four listed entities, consistent with the EM disclosure, is \$137.2m before capital items. Earnings, as reported in the statutory accounts for the group, which adopts DB RREEF Diversified Trust as the parent entity, is \$98.1m before capital items. Consolidated pre acquisition earnings form part of the group distributions for the interim reporting period as security holders are entitled to the earnings of the group from 1 July 2004.

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

Statutory

Actual - Grouped

\$98.1 Net Profit before capital items (\$m) 2 \$134.2 \$137.2

5.20 Distribution per Security (cps) 5.20 5.20
\$74.4 Net Profit Attributable to Security Holders (\$m) 3 \$115.4 \$117.3
4.51 Earnings Per Security (cps) 4.44 4.48

1The "actual grouped" fqures reflect the aggregation of the four Trusts for the initial period to 31 December 2004. This accounting treatment is consistent with the disclosures as outlined in the EM and represent the summation of the results for the four Trusts comprising the stapled entity. It should be noted that investors in DRT have been entitled to the returns of the underlying Trusts from 1 July 2004.

For statutory reporting purposes, DB RREEF Diversified Trust (DDF) has been deemed as the head entity. Accordingly, the other three listed entities comprising DB RREEF Office Trust (DOT), DB RREEF Industrial Trust (DIT) and DB RREEF Operations Trust (DRO) are consolidated as subsidiary entities for accounting purposes. The financial statements reflect six months of DDF results and three months of DOT, DIT and DRO results. The earnings per stapled security per the 31 December 2004 accounts is 4,51 cents (based on the weighted number of units on issue for DDF from 1.7.04 to 31.12.04). This is calculated based on the reported net profit after capital items.

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

$\Gamma$ , that is a

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

Total assets of DRT as at 31 December 2004 are \$6.5bn, with Securityholders Equity of \$3.3bn. The resultant NTA per security is \$1.22, which is 2 cents above the EM forecast. Gearing at 31 December 2004 is 44%.

j.

Commenting on the results, Mr Victor Hoog Antink, CEO said, "These results are very satisfying in that the property portfolio is performing ahead of the EM forecast. These results support the restructure initiatives undertaken during the second half of CY2004 and reflect the first steps in delivering the broader strategies as outlined for DRT. The Board and management remain focused on delivering the earnings targets and establishing the global real estate platform as envisaged in last year's merger."

Completion of Merger

The six months to December 2004 include the first three months of operations as DB RREEF Trust (ASX:DRT), following the successful restructure to reposition and expand the listed property platform in Australia to include:

  • the stapling of the listed property trusts, DB RREEF Office Trust (ASX:DOT), DB RREEF Industrial Trust (ASX:DIT), and DB RREEF Diversified Trust (ASX:DDF);
  • the partial internalisation of the management platform, through the acquisition of a 50% stake in DRFM from Deutsche Australia Limited:
  • the delivery of a platform to access global real estate opportunities, expertise and partners, as demonstrated through the acquisition of an 80% interest in a \$US1 billion industrial portfolio, located across 18 major US markets.

Commentary of results

For a review of the results of DB RREEF Trust for the half year to 31 December 2004, refer to the atlached Media Release. Attached with the Appendix 4D is a copy of the audited Financial Statements for the half year ended 31 December 2004.

On 27 September 2004, unitholders of the DB RREEF Diversified Trust ("the Trust" or "DDF") (formerly Deutsche Diversified Trust), DB RREEF
Office Trust (formerly Deutsche Office Trust) ("DOT"), and DB RREEF Industrial Trus their respective constitutions and replace their respective Responsible Entities. The unitholders also voted to approve the stapling proposal as outlined in the Explanatory Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 August 2004 to staple together DDF, DOT, DIT and a newly created trading trust, DB RREEF Operations Trust ("DRO"), to create the stapled entity known as DB RREEF Trust ("DRT").

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

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

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited has propared information in addition to the financial statements that have been released to the Australian Stock Exchange that explains more fully the performance of the full group for the half year,

Review of operations

On 27 September 2004, unitholders of the Trust, DB RREEF Office Trust (formerly Deutsche Office Trust) ("DOT") and DB RREEF industrial Trust (formerly Deutsche Industrial Trust) ("DIT") voted to replace their respective constitutions and replace their respective Responsible Entities. The unitholders also voted to approve the stapling proposal as outlined in the Explanatory Memorandum and Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 August 2004 to staple together the Trust, DIT, DOT and the newly formed trading trust DB RREEF Operations Trust ("DRO") to create a Stapled Entity known as DB RREEF Trust ("DRT"). The result of these resolutions became effective on 30 September 2004. The Stapled Entity trades on the Australian Stock Exchange under the code DRT.

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

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

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

Net profit attributable to stapled security holders for the half year ended 31 December 2004 was \$74.36 million. Net profit attributable to stapled security holders before costs associated with the Transaction, as described in Note 4, for the half year ended 31 December 2004 was \$117.65 million.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

On 30 September 2004, DB RREEF Diversifed Trust and its subsidiaries ("the Group") was formed by the stapling together of DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO ("the Trusts"). For the purposes of statutory reporting, the stapled entity reflects a consolidated group. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the trusts is DDF. The basis of this approach is consistent with current practice in relation to the financial reporting obligations of stapled entities that were formed after 1 July 2004. The consolidated results reflect the performance of the parent. DDF, from 1 July 2004 and the additions of DIT and DOT from the date of consolidation, being 1 October 2004 to 31 December 2004. investors however are entitled to distributions and earnings of the underlying trusts from the period commencing 1 July 2004.

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

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited as Responsible Entity for each of the Trusts, may only unstaple the Trusts with the approval by special resolution of the stapled security holders.

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

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

This report is to be read in conjunction with any public pronouncements made by DDF and the Trusts during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

(b) Principles of consolidation

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

On 30 September 2004, DDF was deemed to have acquired the other trusts and as a result, the underlying assets and liabilities of the other trusts were adjusted to fair value as at this date. Information from the financial statements of the subsidiaries has been included from 1 October 2004. The accounting policies of the subsidiary trusts are consistent with the parent where applicable.

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

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

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

Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Under this method, the consolidated entity's share of the post-acquisition profits of associates is recognised as revenue in the consolidated Statements of Financial Performance, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. Associates are those entities over which the consolidated entity exercises significant influence, but not control.

(c) Tax expense

$\sim$

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

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

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

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

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

proceeding and

Żλ.

(c) Tax expense (continued)

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

(d) Distributions

In accordance with the Trust's Constitution, as amended in September 2004, the Trust distributes its distributable income to unitholders by cash or reinvesiment. The Trust's constitution now provides that the distributions are payable half yearly.

(e) Foreign currency

Foreign currency investments

Investments in foreign assets are converted to Australian Dollars ("A\$") at the rate of exchange on the date of the transactions or at hedged rates if applicable.

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

Translation of foreign currency operations

All foreign operations are deemed self-sustaining in accordance with AASB 1912: Foreign Currency Translation, as each is financially and operationally independent of the Australian operations.

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

Exchange rates

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

Spot A\$/US\$
Average A\$/US\$ 1
Statements of Financial Position
Statements of Financial Performance
31 Dec 2004
0.7815
0.7182
Spot A\$/NZ\$ Statements of Financial Position 1.0884
Average A\$/NZ\$ ' Statements of Financial Performance 1.0790

1 The average exchange rate includes applicable hedges.

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

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

The Responsible Entity has established a project team to manage the transilion to AIFRS, including training of staff, and systems and internal control changes necessary to gather all the required financial information. In some cases choices of accounting policies are available, including elective exemptions under Accounting Standard AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to IFRS. Some of these choices are still being analysed to determine the most appropriate accounting policy.

The major changes identified to date that will be applied to existing accounting policies are as follows:

Investment properties

Changes in the fair values of investment properties will be adjusted through the Statements of Financial Performance rather than through the asset revaluation reserve of the Statements of Financial Position. Certain real estate investments currently classified as investment properties (such as properties under construction) may not meet the IFRS definition of investment property. Therefore, a separate class of assets may be shown on the face of the Statements of Financial Position.

Financial instruments

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

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004 DB RREEF DIVERSIFIED TRUST (FORMERLY DEUTSCHE DIVERSIFIED TRUST) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(f) International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") (continued)

Income tax

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

Disclosure and presentation of equity

Accounting Standard AASB 132: Financial Instruments: disclosure and presentation, prescribes the criteria for recognising a financial instrument as either debt or equity. Whilst technical interpretation of this standard is still pending, the standard may require that units in the Trusts be classified as debt rather than equity and that distributions to unitholders be classified as borrowing costs. This would not result in any substantive change in the financial position of the Group, but would significantly after the presentation of contributed equity in the consolidated financial statements.

Lease Revenue

The Group may be required to recognise rental revenue on a straightline basis for leases which contain fixed increases.

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

While the application of IFRS may introduce volatility into forecast financial information, this will not affect the cashflows from operations and hence the distributions paid to stapled security holders.

Independent audit report to the stapled security holders of DB RREEF Diversified Trust (formerly Deutsche Diversified Trust)

Audit opinion

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

  • gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of DB RREEF Diversified Trust and the DB RREEF Diversified Trust Group (defined below) as at 31 December 2004 and of their performance for the half-vear ended on that date, and
  • is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 1029: Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both DB RREEF Diversified Trust (the Trust) and the DB RREEF Diversified Trust Group (the consolidated entity) for the half-year ended 31 December 2004. The consolidated entity comprises both DB RREEF Diversified Trust (the registered scheme) and the entities it controlled during that half year.

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

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit in order for the registered scheme to lodge the financial report with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an

audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. For further explanation of an audit, visit our website http://www.pwc.com/au/financialstatementaudit.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 1029: Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Trust's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and
  • assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

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

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

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